Do the Corporatist Media take every "fresh talent" and offer contracts, giving them money for their families and friends,take advantage, give the coke and steroids and then...once they have you "Hooked AND Obligated"...they go for the kill? They ruin talent by subjugating it to the interests of the Vast Mainstream Media...and when you DIE of overdoses or dissilution they MAKE MONEY off endless Media Stories about what lead up to your decline and death...meanwhile NEVER telling WHAT PART THEY played in the whole thing?

This was brought to mind watching a PBS special on Elvis early career when he started with Sun Records. A naive Southern Boy..,with talent who Caught the "Big Wave."

How does our "MSMedia" devour the lives of those who bring in the bucks. How many lives have been destroyed? But, maybe it's worth it? In the end, maybe it is. To sacrifice yourself for the millions who love to hear and enjoy your work might be worth more than "principle?" :shrug:

Not "taking the money" might be more suffocating to talent than taking it and getting "used."
