Well, with Bush making noise last year about privatizing up to half of the public sector jobs, I think it's safe to say that most of the jobs left in this country will be in retail and the service industry.
Where will all the money to spend come from? Tax cuts. The reduced taxes on my unemployment, for example, stimulate the economy by allowing me to buy a month's supply of Top Ramen. I'm not sure how that's going to help create 1.4 million new jobs in the next couple years, but I'm sure that once we're all working again, the true genius of the president will be obvious.
A lot of rock bands that have been appearing on VH1 lately talk about how they're live performers first and studio artists second. If this is really Metallica's impression of themselves as artists, then one could infer that the band's art is not just the music but rather the perfomance of that music. If the premise is true, then the band is only selling half the package in their studio albums. Do you think that it may be time for artists to stop thinking of studio albums as their main artistic endevors but rather as promotional items to sell tickets to the concerts?

No, you're looking at it backwards. The CREATORS needed another way to gamble, so they're developing this market.
