Re: “ROCK | Meg Myers”
Ahhh, you've summed up everything that is wrong with popular music today in one sentence. "She's backed by some catchy, heavy tracks — which is often recreated by a live band on tour. " OFTEN? And what the other times? She sings karaoke over a backing track? Why not forget the whole thing and put an mp3 player on a stool on stage and they can have a slideshow of pictures of the "performer" behind it?

Re: “Art, ads, and the image we show to the world”
There is, or was, art in the Greater Rochester International Airport? Who knew? Whenever I have to suffer the massive hassle of air travel, my last concern is whether there is art in the airport and I bet most other travelers would agree. I'm concerned with ...let's see...Did I get here early enough? Is this some big travel day that I don't know about and I'm going to be stuck in extra long lines and be pressed to make my flight? Did I take my little 1/2" pen knife off my keychain and leave it home? Are all my liquids of the appropriate size? Is my liquids bag, laptop, etc easily accessible so I can get it out quickly while I'm trying to get my coat, shoes and belt off whilst emptying my pockets to go through security? Is it too early or too late to get a decent cup of coffee here? Is the flight leaving on time so I can make my connection? I care not one whit as to whether there is art. Free wi-fi, yes. Clean restrooms, yes. Decent and cheap food and beverage choices, Yes. If I want to look at art I'll go to a gallery where I can look at my leisure when I'm not thinking about 100 other things.
