sorry StevJobs, but your question makes as much as sense as asking why spend money building a museum. In the same way that you are entertained and inspired by music coming from your $180 iPod, I was entertained and inspired for two hours today walking through Central Park. And I didn't have to pay a red cent -- neither did Christo, apparently, since the project was paid for by the sale of his documentation.
Sure, they coulda used the money to feed and clothe the homeless. We all could do more of that. It's a valid issue. But there's also validity in spending money in order to make art accessible to normal people like you and me. Otherwise, we may as well empty out the Metropolitan Museum of Art and use it as a homeless shelter.
