Ask a hungry artist
Dollcee asked Dos, do you think artists and composers got a better deal when they all worked for God. What I mean is, when everyone went off to church on Sunday and the church paid for everything.
Dos said, let’s face it, art is decoration and entertainment. To get the punters to turn up, you need atmosphere and entertainment. Art for the sake of art is a myth, ask a hungry artist. You need a patron who is wealthy enough to let you get on with it. The churches don’t have that sort of wealth anymore to pay for big new productions. That is why they keep recycling all the old stuff.
Cybo couldn’t resist adding his opinion on this matter. The social position of the churches has been replaced by the corporations. These days, the corporations want to promote their wealth and social standing, like the churches have done in the past. The thing is though, they wish to do this as cheaply as possible. Social media has become the vehicle to achieve this. Where, the punters provide the content and then other punters pay to watch it.
Dollcee said, what is the message.
Cybo broke into song,
Spend, spend all you’ve got
borrow some more
when you are totally broken
and can borrow no more
you will get, kicked out the door
da da da, dum
