Basically, it seemed divided into two camps: pro-modern and anti-modern. What interested me though was one person said about funding for these modern performers. Bon Jovi's supported by his fans, and these more "challenging" artists are by and large funded more by state funds. This poster thought apparently that would be more "honest" to simply live in poverty, producing these esoteric works, rather than continue to draw money from the state for pieces that may not be as popular.
