The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I would think some performances will survive just because they're that good. Iconic.

Again, I believe producers of movies, TV, music will keep iconic bands, songs, artists alive, even if only for episodic revivals. Heck...Irving Berlin has spotify channel.

Aretha owns "Respect." Whitney owns ayeeayeeaywillalwaysluvyouuuuuoooo Entertainment producers will know and use these and many others over and over just as they do 'White Christmas", "What a Wonderful World," .

They aren't just songs. They are legitimate art. Those creations are already demonstrating 'legs.'

In times of political strife, 'For What It's Worth" might survive air. They transcend; they speak to occasions.

Songs that resonate and tug at man's heartstrings just ain't a dime a dozen. Irving Berlin didn't just get lucky when he wrote God Bless America or White Christmas. Other songwriters recognize the skill/genius, like Willie Nelson putting Blue Skies into most of his set lists.

Hank Williams songs... they're too good for current and future artists to ignore.

We (most of the age group on this board) got to experience some amazing art.
Doris Day and her ilk were kinda analogous to modern corporate music that's designed by clones and algorithm. It's product; not art.
