This is worth a look. I don't quite exactly agree with everything said here...for instance the reason artists are not treated as equals to doctors, police or farmers is that we provide a service that is NOT needed for survival...Sorry, it's true. You don't NEEEEED art to survive as much as I do it, want it, and feel like its a necessity. There is value to it and the people that do it...but to compare an artist to say...a cancer researcher and say they are the same...rubs me the wrong way...even as an artist.
Anyways, now that I've given all artists the desire to punch me in the face...check it out...it's a good message and definitely has merit, I just think we should realize the service we provide in terms of actual necessity in comparison to things like....well, medicine, law enforcement and food providers...
