Not sure if you, rjw, or iamducky will care but he just explained the title of the album. Loving this album so far.
Wow, great story! I'd like to think that politicians back then weren't all so idiotic - but then can you imagine how a defence of modern art would go down in Congress? I'd love to see a member of the House of Representatives defend this or this. (the second painting is Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue III by Barnett Newman, which was the subject of a knife attack in 1986, because modern art is scary and confusing) Of course, the political backlash was probably just an opportunistic attack on anything publicly funded but that's not such a fun narrative (cf. NPR, welfare)
