Do emerging artists need to live in New York or LA?

This is a very interesting episode from TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE, an NPR syndicated radio show from Wisconsin. The topic concerns making art in the "fly-over zone," that being the portion of the country that isn't New York or LA.

"Do you ever get the feeling that everyone's reading all the same books and listening to all the same music, and seeing all the same films?   Maybe there's a reason why.  New York and Los Angeles account for only a fraction of landmass when it comes to the continental United States.  But together, they drive the culture consumption of the nation.   But what about the rest of the country, the fold in the map?  This hour, artists and critics speak out about creating in the fly-over zone."
