No problem, my main thing was that if I'm going to make a point, even if it's not particularly well received I'm going to stick to it and ride it down to end.
That said music is a particularly weird gray area. Look at art or literature where the artist produces work, they are not the work themselves. Picaso or Shakespeare made work that was divorced of who they were or what they looked like. Whereas a musician makes a work that goes hand in hand with who they are. It's very hard to like a song if you hate the singer. Would people have like Dylan or Cash if MTV was around to force people to judge the music they heard while at the same time forcing them to judge what they see?
Basically what I'm saying is that the music industry has become a visual one as well with TV, and the internet, etc... Which goes back to my point about cinema, what really distances me from giving a shit about models or actresses complaining about the system is that the system has been there for 80+ years and it's not like it's some hidden trap that they fall into by accident. I work in the advertising industry, and just completed a video piece for a well known cell phone manufacturer, and the company had to select models for this video, where we were sectioning off women based on height, bust, etc, and frankly it's an akward experience to have to quantify how women look. It's an ugly feeling, but many of these women know what they're getting into, it's not like people lie to them.
