Unless you make broad-based pop or mainstream hip-hop (country is a world unto itself, with its own rules). That’s all they’re interested in. They’re equivalent to NASA. They plot endlessly for rare moonshots, they’re not interested in suborbital journeys, they want to bet it all, play for keeps.

I’ll watch anything with Eve Myles in it. She’s not a movie star, she’s an ACTRESS! That’s the change we’ve been experiencing in the modern era.
