Carnegie hall was built with his own money (ill gotten, some people would argue, as he was an industrialist) and was in his family's ownership for decades. So, I dunno, does that count? Well then we're in the tricky area of people like, The Sacklers, using philanthropy to whitewash their names. I'm kind of flattered you hold me in a regard that you think I'm cultured enough to be in the proximity of those things on the regular. :)Or a printed program with a list of donors?
Valid! I don't think it does. No worries, I've mostly seen those things at the symphonies my ex used to bring me to. We got a lot of free tickets because she was in the music program - After awhile, you learn who the real bougie people in your city are because their names are printed in a classical font under the "[DIAMOND | LEGACY | FOUNDER | PLATINUM] DONORS" heading :) Ah shit, I've annihilated the image you had of me as a scrappy rebellious lad just trying to make his way through the world!
