00:03:01.000We're not going to get, we're not going to get like the Seattle Storm co owner coming down and just berating people at a bar about lesbian politics.
00:03:07.000It's just going to be a pretty girl playing a guitar and talking about how Texas is great and couples dancing.
00:04:22.000Art and preference for art tends to reflect what people are looking for.
00:04:26.000People are looking in the movie theater to be entertained and not slammed over the head with politics.
00:04:31.000People in music are looking for something that just is relaxing and normal without having to be slammed over the head with your woke or unwoke tastes based on the politics.
00:04:41.000And that's just, that's all that people are looking for right now.
00:04:45.000Now, CNN has an entire article about this.
00:04:50.000And one of the questions here that CNN asks is why does it feel like people don't know her face or name?
00:04:55.000Clayton Durant, an adjunct professor of music business at NYU, says what's really happening is there's hits in what we call subcultures.
00:05:01.000If you're not involved in a particular subculture, Or your feed isn't giving you that particular subculture, you as a consumer may not feel that there's an actual hit.
00:05:08.000I mean, I think that's always been true.
00:05:10.000If I don't listen to rap and then there's a rap hit, I'm probably not going to find out about it.
00:05:14.000I think what's actually happening here is that people are just turning away from these sorts of daily ugliness that characterizes American political life right now.
00:05:25.000And rap is very involved in that sort of stuff.
00:05:28.000No matter what you say about rap, rap is certainly not apolitical as a general matter, it carries an underlying value system.
00:05:36.000So, for example, just to take some lyrics from some of the better selling rap songs of the recent past, there's one called Dead Fresh by Lil Baby, as opposed to Big Baby or Medium Sized Baby.
00:05:47.000The chorus to which reads, Okay, I'm dead fresh, Carlton, dead fresh.
00:06:53.000It's like the comfort food of music, country music.
00:06:55.000I remember when I actually got into country music for a while, during my teenage years, my dad and I and a couple of my sisters, we had to take a road trip.
00:07:05.000My grandmother gave us like an old Crown Vic, the old car, like the cop car.
00:07:10.000And for some reason, they owned a Crown Vic.
00:07:11.000And we had to drive it back from Chicago all the way to LA.
00:07:17.000And so we ended up driving cross country.
00:07:19.000This is the days before, you know, internet radio, really.
00:07:23.000And so we ended up Just listening to whatever was on the radio.
00:07:26.000And it turns out that in Vasse Walls of the country, the only station that is available is a country Western station, which is when we fell in love with Brad Paisley.
00:07:49.000I've talked about the normy revolution, but maybe what we actually just need is not even a revolution, it's just a normy refusal to abide by the precepts.
00:07:56.000That we need to engage in radical politics and radical virtue signaling and radical signaling of every sort every single day.
00:08:02.000Like, it's perfectly fine to have a pretty girl on camera playing the guitar and talking about why Texas is great and then people dancing.
