disaster in detroit
alocispepraluger102 replied to alocispepraluger102's topic in Miscellaneous Music
state or national funding is going to become a necessity for all of our great orchestras, and bands, if they are to survive. -
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703440604575496232907430938.html by terry teachout from wsj The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is staring into the abyss. In order to survive a fix-it-or-else financial crisis—the DSO is expected to run up a $9 million operating deficit by the end of 2010—the management wants to slash the pay of its musicians by nearly 30%. The musicians have responded by voting to authorize a strike, and it is widely feared that this may lead to the orchestra's demise. Does anybody care? Yes—but probably not enough to do anything about it. The numbers tell the tale: Nearly two million people lived in Detroit in 1950. The current population is 800,000. Forty of the city's 140 square miles are vacant. Downsizing is the name of the save-Detroit game, and Mayor Dave Bing, who is looking at an $85 million budget deficit, wants to slash civic services drastically and encourage Detroit's remaining residents to cluster in the healthiest of its surviving neighborhoods. Can a once-great city that is now the size of Austin, Texas, afford a top-rank symphony orchestra with a 52-week season? Does it even want one? The DSO, after all, is not the only one of Detroit's old-line high-culture institutions that is sweating bullets. The Detroit Institute of Arts and the Michigan Opera Theater are also in trouble, and the editorial page of the Detroit News recently declared that Detroit is "no longer a top 10 city by any measure. The reality may be that this region can no longer support a world class orchestra, or art museum, or opera company. . . . They are remnants of an era when the city was awash in automotive cash."......................................

these are from the local wild bird sanctuary. they are all on the mend or permanently infirmed. they are in huge outdoor cages. some are released back into the wild. some days they are all hiding. this day i was lucky. -
If you read David Foster Wallace's The Broom of the System, which you might find fun or not, you will find that most of central Ohio has disappeared and become the Great Ohio Desert (G.O.D.). Probably wouldn't be fun to be living there under those conditions. columbus is thriving and my city is getting a new solar panel plant at a former gm assembly plant. the old rust belt has indeed become the dust belt.
