In the course of rummaging around the web for links to the lyrics I re-came (I know it’s not a word, but I like it) across David Byrne’s Journal. I was amazed and delighted to read a recent post that mused on the tension between various manifestations of culture. In the specific example, he wrote about a public library that was closed and became an art gallery. Which one is better? Well, that’s a tough one for culture keepers, isn’t it?

I encourage you to read his essay. It’s dense but well worth the effort.
