As usual, I can’t make heads or tales of what you’re talking about. After trying to read the link I’m even more confused, except for the strange fact that the writer of that review sounds amazingly like you.rockaction said:
I'm thinking if ever there was an argument against "meritocratic" wealth that isn't inherited in some way, be it cognitively or by death, this is it. It's really an opportunity for me to concede that there may be compelling arguments for redistribution, and that the ever-growing and unconscionable wealth gap might be a thing. Consider it a chance for some prime class warfare against the nouveau riche in here.
Yeah, I drafted "White Iverson" in the Blue-Eyed Soul category of the very first Genrepalooza in '15 or '16 or so. I thought it was a cheeky pick, and he turned out to just blow up. The point really was, late night, is his talent commensurate with wealth like that? Is that what we want? Is it equitable? Is it meritocratic?
Funny. Just a bump to reply to bigbottom, who makes a point about Post Malone's songwriting and chops.
Well, you’re not likely to get an objective response from me as I’m a musician and songwriter in my spare time. As far as I’m concerned, any time I see an artist making money off of his or her art, as opposed to the record industry pocketing the vast majority of those revenues, I’m a happy camper.
Oh, I just meant the amount and that it was largely intellectual property, now expanded to nth degrees from what it once was, that is likely responsible for his wealth. Probably not the greatest thread, and I certainly don't mean to disparage artists or songwriters. I remarked to my friend circa 2008 that entertainment was our economy for the most part. Entertainment and service, really.
