Key quote from the Dallas Observer article:
Quote:
Sen. Hancock wouldn’t speak by phone with the Observer, but did send an email response:
“Texas has a rich, unique musical history that deserves to be celebrated all across our state,” he wrote. “The Texas State Music Museum will be a state-of-the-art addition to the developing state museum district that already includes the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and the Blanton Museum of Art, providing music education for thousands of Texas school children who visit the Capitol Complex in Austin each year. As a fiscal conservative, I’m pleased to report that this museum won’t require any state money. Instead, the nonprofit Texas Music Foundation would raise the money to build and operate the museum.”

This institution better have heaps of music venues. I still think (and have posted previously elsewhere) the City of Austin should pursue a Museum of Live Music, though, which would be distinct conceptually from this.
