Glen Miller did but then he was probably shot down by friendly fire effectively curbing enthusiasm for this position.

I have no enthusiasm for this state-centered dignity-browsing status-minded focus on music.

It really is not fun to answer all of these. Which is why I recommend just reading them. Answer one or two maybe, then maybe look at it again in a few years. Or not.

Some of them are more interesting than others. The whole prestige and status questions are interesting in a weird way. One of my favorites though is 21: What is the highest position in the hierarchy of the State administration that deals exclusively with music?

Is there anyone, anyone at all in our government that deals exclusively with music? maybe someone at the NIH? I can’t even begin to imagine our government dedicating a whole position to music issues. There must be someone though, right? What would it be like to have Secretary of Music way up in the cabinet? What would they do? Try to save Britney’s career or get Tom Waits to be played in classrooms across the nation?
