Arts, general, related subjects. --- Business and art. The term "music business" is an oxymoron. Music is an art. Business is about money. There is music, and there is business, but there is no music business. "Music business" is a sham. --- 4/27/2006

Arts, general, related subjects. --- Economics and art. Some would argue that art is unavoidably related to economics, because when we make and consume art we use up time and energy. Yet the situation of art created in "free time" (i.e., leisure time) and communicated to an audience "for free" (i.e., for no fee) is a situation with which modern economics has a difficult time. --- 10/15/2004

Arts, general, related subjects. --- Philosophy and art. Some believe that art is just pure beauty, and not communication, or ethics, etc. They believe in beauty for beauty's sake (like fashion models do) (just like sex for sex's sake, or art for arts sake). But there is much more to life than beauty, or sex, or art, and more important things as well. Problems and ethics take precedence over beauty. --- 11/30/1996
Arts, general, related subjects. --- Politics and art. (1) Art censored by law vs. art supported by government. (2) Art to change government. --- 12/30/1992
Arts, general, related subjects. --- Politics and art. NEA. The National Endowment on Arts and government funding of the arts. Arguments for and against it. (1) Some say we should not fund art that is obscene or pornographic. I say this objection is bogus. Freedom of expression must rule. Who decides what is obscene or pornographic? Even flag burning should be allowed. However, images or descriptions of child molestation and torture are illegal though. Where to draw the line? (2)(A) Some say we should not have to support any artists if we do not want to. Let them make a living like everyone else. This is a good argument. (B) But then should we even fund science? Should we have an industrial policy? Can free market funded science accomplish more with less money? Can free market funded science handle the coordination and big bucks that huge projects require? I say free market science can not do it all alone. (C) In the same way, should we give incentives to spur small business? Should we engage in corporate welfare? If we support and promote business then we should support and promote the arts. (3) Some say art is dead. It has all been figured out. People will continue to make art, but not in new ways. They may say or communicate different ideas using new technology, but art has been figured out. Novelists, poets, musicians, movies, i.e. all art has been figured out. Philosophy too. They are dead and do not deserve out money. But many say that economics, sociology, and the hard sciences like physics are dead too. I say nothing is dead. --- 12/30/1996
Arts, general, related subjects. --- Politics and art. Should the government support the arts? If the government supports science and business, which it does, then it should support the arts. --- 04/24/1997
