[QUOTE]
"The country was founded by people who thought music and dance were
evil -- the Puritans -- so we never had central support in the
government for arts. This coincidentally created a system of private
support that resulted in a healthier ecology than what we have now in
the rest of the world for arts."
--Michael Kaiser
