http://www.andylykens.com/blog/2009/03/09/could-the-recession-impact-the-arts/ I work in the music industry, am a musician, a CrossFitter, and generally interested in human development in all aspects. I'm also immature and love laughing at absurd things and poop jokes.

You could have a point. I am also thinking about how stressed all these people are because they do not have a job... I remember how my mother used to paint. She was amazing... Then she got a good job and forgot all about it. Once she got a stable position in that new company she went back to painting and even began learning to play the piano. I am probably too pessimistic, but the recession seems to be affection such verticals which are not a survival need. Even restaurants are going crazy because people prefer to save money and eat at home. I certainly hope that art will not lose its audience but I see many people redirecting their money elsewhere. The recession will get worse... a lot worse. Your post seems very interesting. You could have a point. I am also thinking about how stressed all these people are because they do not have a job…
