     @pluralistic One evening I went into the Jazz department of Sam the Record Man in Toronto. I asked for an obscure album from a long-disbanded fusion group. The clerk, who was also a musician and part-time public radio DJ, shook his head: "I've sold you enough Dead Jazz. Go out, listen to some live musicians, and come back for their albums."

     You'd think this kind of thing only happens in movies, but yes, there are people who get that Art requires supporting artists.
