Re: Responsibility in the industry

Mark's post below on responsibility of the entertainment industry reminded me of an article from EW a couple of months ago about how an Obama presidency will affect movies/TV/music. They made the correlation that other administrations left large footprints (Top Gun/Dynasty in the Reagan years) and wonder if Obama will usher in a time of hope and change in the industry. I wouldn't necessarily go as far as they do in ascribing influence (do we really think rappers are sitting around at home wondering how having a black man in the White House affects their rhymes?), but it will be interesting to see where we end up with Obama: Read the EW piece here.

    Actually, the 24 piece noted on NPR that it's a sign of the times that 24 will begin with a Senate investigation into his violent ways...

    Oh, that's an interesting twist. The EW article didn't mention that.

    Oh, Emily, I can tell you're not a hip hop fan.
