Are the Arts Better off Without Government Support?
New Jersey governor Jon Corzine says his state is tapped out for arts money and is proposing $2.5 million in budget cuts. Several other states have proposed similar cuts. While some experts say that corporations should step in to fill the void, others wonder if the arts may be better off without government subsidies altogether. Today we hear from Lawrence Goldman, the president and CEO of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, a recipient of state funding; Alice Goldfarb Marquis, author of "Art Lessons: Learning from the Rise and Fall of Public Arts Funding;" and from Norman Lebrecht, the British cultural critic and BBC commentator. Plus, a look into the intersection of Bollywood and hip-hop. And Paul McCartney turned 64, has the world changed?
