  • The arts are the only thing worth while in life, the only noble thing a person can do...

  • Thank you Tom et al. I fear it will be a Sisyphean task to convince politicos that the arts are more important than guns. One month of upkeep on machines of war ($8 billion per month) could fund arts in education nationwide for years. The budget for the NEA nationally amounts to $150 million (Down from $340 million in '05).  Time to put the hood on the hawks and empower the artists. Art is our best chance to educate toward peace and understanding between nations. Peace = Prosperity.

  • This country tests to much and does not look at the whole child.

  • @hankx32

    What an awesomely stupid and narrow minded statement.

    Might as well get rid of all the farmers, fireman, doctors, nurses then.

    Oh and the people whop made PC's the internet and Youtube.

    One less place for narrow sighted idiots like you to spout your ill thought out crap.

    Noble my ass - you are a twat of the first order

  • Excellently done...

  • I'm trying to find a performance that Tom did with his famous Brother. Not taking anything away from his brother Harry but,... Tom's live performance of this song ranks amongst the best I've ever heard. I think it's called "Saturday Morning"?

  • this is the best way to represent the arts...God bless Tom Chapin

  • All of the Chapin brothers were raised right. Each of them is the type that likes to bring harmony to Earth. How could you not love em.

  • Yes, this is in the best Pete Seeger tradition. Well meaning, idealistic and completely simplistic and without thought. Liberals really do believe money grows on trees. They mindlessly hold their hands out and expect that when they ask for money it will appear.

  • Tom Chapin was a big part of our daughter's childhood. Even 20 years later, we still sing about "Good Garbage" at Thanksgiving time! Recycling never seemed so "cool".

  • astardrifter,

    You are correct! SCIENTIFIC studies have concluded time and again, that science and math grades (and general aptitude) are increased among students who participate in the arts. Music was the art most studied, but all the arts improve brain function.

  • This "testimony" is in the best Pete Seeger tradition. I was thrilled to find it. If Tom sees this please know that Harry's "Commitment" has been my lifelong guide for living.
