That was a good read. I enjoyed reading the comments too; especially the people who don't understand art, or have never been emotionally moved by it.
This is pretty much what I've been trying to explain to people for years about music and art, yet never could convey. While it's nice to get fair compensation for hard work, I feel more rewarded when someone tells me that something I did meant something to them. I'm sure that's the case for any artist, or anyone who creates things and puts them out into the world.
The BMG part of the show was amazing! And this was a great article. That said I read some of the comments and do agree with one person. Most of that money that did not get to the charity also did not get to the hands of the homeless. I saw mostly suits stuffing money in pockets. It didn't bother me what was done and how it was done just that my fellow NYers are kinda greedy and as much as I need money right now as in really bad I would have made sure none of it got in my pockets had I been there. Again I agree it wasn't about the money but the art and it was beautiful and I absolutely agree with Penn I just find the general public to be asses!
Trump is such an asshole, it's beyond words. I remember when the first season was on. It I'd watch it with my mom as our Thursday night show to tivo and eat ice cream to. The first season was actually enjoyable with actual people competing in interesting challenges every week. After that it just became a corporate shit storm. Instead of creative challenges, it became "who's sponsoring this week's episode for advertising"
I like that they did it with an artsy flair. And fuck Trump if he and his cronies didn't get all the money... yea, he really deserves it more than somebody who needs food...
