i wonder what the cultural vibe is in countries that view art with reverence.

people in america aren't looking at the bigger picture--this country has NEVER cared about art or artists.

is jazz on pop radio? does your average american give a shit about impressionism or even know what the fuck it is?

so, why would they care about the average novelist? does your typical american even fucking read?

I have a feeling I would be very angry at this, if I could finish sounding out the letters!

(Edit: Bobby, stop that! lol.)

I wouldn't even say it's just American's, it's worldwide. Most societies don't value or appreciate art unless it's easily consumable slop that makes them feel better about their existence.
