It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

How much would you give, exactly?

Because without a lot more government support, the largest private donors will essentially continue to call the shots for most American orchestras. David Geffen gave Lincoln Center $100 million for the upcoming renovations -- and to put his name on what was once Philharmonic Hall and later Avery Fisher Hall. $15 million of that went to compensate Avery Fisher's family, so I hate to think how much it will cost to get David Geffen's name off the building the next time they decide to renovate.

If you want to get rid of all the classical hits and pops programming, get ready to write a lot of zeros at the end of your check.
