Don't over-romantisize music. There are only 2 kinds of bands that don't "give one flying sh*t where their album stands on the national charts". Those are bands who haven't "made it" and...ok 1 kind of band. All professional musicians are concerned with how their albums are doing because they're just that, proffesionals.
Its a sign of whether or not people are connecting with their music. Why in god's name would anyone get up on stage and pour their heart out if they thought no one cared. There are only 2 measures of whether people like your music: album sales and concert sales. Note the word sales.
If you want to see people play for the love of it go to your local bar and watch a cover band. Everyone else has the same goal.
Debtor's prison expected either you or your family to come up with money to pay your debts and buy your freedom. We're talking about poeple who, for example, get free room and board because they shot a president, molested children, and kill dozens of people in very violent ways.
I think we started going very wrong when prison became a learning institution instead of a disciplinary one.
It was obvious in the Online Journal Review that the author was scrambling to maintain his profession's relevence. In this case the word "context" could be replaced with the word "opinion". Of course that's what makes good journalists great, their opinion.
Show me a reporter that writes without bias and I'll show you an algorithm that can replace him.
