Not to drag this thread farther off-topic, but Ms Moose has touched upon something that really grinds my gears. Music Industry? Two words that really, really shouldn't be together. Since when have art and assembly lines mixed well? Anyone here want to sink their life's savings into the Sculpture Industry?
Another example is theater, specifically Andrew Lloyd Weber-style big money, generic musicals. For the most part, they've pushed the rest of theater so far off, off Broadway that you couldn't find a good show with a Sherpa guide and a team of sled dogs. Even if you can manage to open an original show, if it doesn't make millions in the first week it's booted to make room for another revival of Cats.
Rant Over, thanks for listening.
