The Crisis in Music (Lecture)

United States
November 6, 2022 4:40pm CST
Mentions how the US economy has grown dramatically since the 1930s, but how we have less venues, and the artistic crisis.. He also mentions technology and economy; and how people don't spend money on music. "It's on YouTube" and he says a majority of the material on YouTube is there illegally. Artistically, he mentions how people mention views, subscribers, and all the non-music stuff - not how great an album is. I read this guy, but didn't know he made videos until someone else posted it. Even before getting to the music challenges, he throws some questions to the audience. "Give me the name of a living poet" "Give me the name of one dance choreographer" "Give me the name of a living jazz saxophonist" and chances are most won't know it.

I'll admit, I don't necessarily know any living jazz saxophonists... Kenny G comes to mind, but does he count? Is he still in the industry? Living poets... Amanda Gorman comes to mind. I'll admit that I only know who she is because she read some of her work at the Biden presidential inauguration. Choreographers... do Fosse and Martha Graham count? Or only living ones in this case?
