Oh well, time to again remind NPR that although I listen to their classical music programs, I won't send them a red cent until they cease being a taxpayer funded shill for the left wing of the Democratic party.

I have a bone to pick with NPR on their classical music programming (I listen over the web occasionally) - they tend to be more than a bit snide about my favourite soprano Renée Fleming (I made and run a fan site about her), merely because she's popular and successful.

It's like you're not valid as an artist unless you're sleeping in a puddle. No.

I see this attitude in so much oof the "arts community". Personally I think it's jealousy.
