Dubya: Good for Art?
Any regular reader (though frankly, we suspect most of our readers are irregular, in one fashion or another) will know that The Malcontent is no fan of the truth-disregarding, profligate-spending, religious-pandering 43rd president.
However, in presenting such a smug, callous, imperial approach to governance, he appears to be firing up artists in a way that we haven't seen in a long while. Among the examples:
Sam Shepard has a new play.
The Beastie Boys are afire with political rhymes on their new album.
Tony Kushner's new work, Only We Who Guard the Mystery Shall Be Unhappy. (OK, maybe T.K. would be blowing up regardless, but still.)
Philip Roth's new book, The Plot Against America (which spawned an insanely long review in the Times.)
Playwrights, novelists, musicians, visual artists, and filmmakers, of course.
Hmmm... He is a uniter!
