Why is it some musicians think some one else owes them a living? Orchestras and the great wind bands of the last quarter of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries succeeded because they were popular, people were prepared to pay to hear them.

Asking the government to pay is simply a way of saying we should all pay for that which we are not willing to pay.
