ASBURY ART

Recently there was a full page ad in the Tri-City News.  A black page and in the middle was a link;

AsburyWithoutTheArts.com

I clicked on it on April 25.  It took me to the ARTSCAP site

Ref;  Asbury Arts Post> April 25, 2013

Today I clicked on it again and got a different site.  Seems ARTSCRAP wants the local candidates to respond to the question of what are their financial and practical commitments to the arts in Asbury Park over the next four years? Good question.

There were some responses;

RANDY THOMPSON

Doesn't have a clue about the arts in AP.  Has a lot of ideas and talks like a politician.  Tell 'em what they want to hear.  He talks about bringing outside artist into help.  Relax Randy.  I'm here and have been here for sometime.

AMY QUINN

Spoke on behalf of Asbury One.  Another clueless person.  Doesn't even know ALF exist let alone about the performers ordinance, the Free Culture Zone or the war on culture.

JOHN LOFREDDO

At the council meeting when the performers ordinance was before it, John sed;

"It's about time music got it's due", and passed the ordinance.

The "Sandwitch" was a sandwich shop next to the miniature golf course.  They had groups playing next to it with full knowledge and consent of Madison Marquete for three years.

Along comes the city and tells them that they now must obtain a more expensive "cabaret license" and the musicians would have to be on their property.  No room for them and the tables.

Drove them out of business, it did.  They were told that they had a anonymous complaint.  Impossible if you have a right to face your accuser in court?

As the lady who ran it sed; ...they killed the vibe.

That they did.  Guess who was behind it?  Greed trumps culture ...again in AP

SUE HENDERSON

Hooray for Sue Henderson.  She got a couple of things wrong.

...so in the lean years hundreds of young and experienced artist found a safe haven to live and develope their art.  First off there are not

"hundreds" of young artist.  There's hardly any at all and they don't got to worry of being pushed out by the four galleries in town.

Finally ALF gets a mention.  They passed an ordinance that got the FREE CULTURE ZONE

designated and she mentioned the performers ordinance, as flawed as it may be.  What she doesn't realize is that AP in the year they celebrated their musical heritage they outlawed culture at a grass roots level.  Probably would make the boss sick.

ALF wishes the canidates would acknowledge the war on culture and call off the culture gestapho.

Running off the free entertainment is not smart.

JIM KEADY

Whoa...!!! hold on Jim.  didn't you get that e-mail I sent you?  Provide funding for ARTSCRAP, the pretend organization.  Some say a front for the gay mafia.  They do nothing but talk.

What about ALF?  Don't you think getting a performers ordinance passed helps artist MAKE MONEY.  What about the FREE CULTURE ZONE and the war on culture?

How can ARTSCRAP call itself a COALITION

of the arts in AP?  What coalition?  Who is in it?  A few photographers?  I got some dirt on those people if anyone is interested?
