To Jehovauponyou...

He doesn't receive "hundreds of thousands of government grants". That is an ignorant statement made typically by right wing nut cases who don't have clue how the arts and government works. He scrapes by as an artist because it is important to him.

WOW, I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO IMPRESSED - SAY, HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND DOLLARS OF GOVERNMENT GRANTS DOES THIS STUPID FUCK GET TO PLAY 'MUSIC SCIENTIST'. PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP AND STOP GIVING SUCH ASS-WIPES CREDENCE FOR THEIR STUPIDITY! WHAT HAS HE ADDED TO OR GIVEN TO MUSIC OR SCIENCE?

@jehovahuponyou

thank you so much for your intelligent use of language. I have been surviving for 40 years now as a musician, and as most musicians will tell you, it is a tough life with little financial reward - particularly in the area of new music. If you knew anything about contemporary music, you would know that.
