Here he is, Rocco Landesman. Our guy in government. He calls U.S. arts funding “pathetic.” Nice. And he comes from Broadway, which, of course, I dig.
His initial dig on Peoria is a misstep, but it looks like he got a good, national wallop for that. I don’t mind an arts guy that speaks his mind now and then.
So is he with us, or is he management? We’ll see how he does.
Good luck Rocco – and do me a favor: consider giving grants to individuals, not just mega-huge non-profits.
