Absolutely agree with that.

Agree with this too. Art is like baseball in that sense, you can't kill it, no matter how much the owners fuck with it.
I also think the history of always being onto something new in the art world is part and parcel of any semblance of societal change, anywhere and anytime. And that also goes for, heaven forfend!, revolution. I don't think you can have radical change without Art being in the mix.

Hadn't thought of it that way. I feel better already.
