As huge as we think entertainers are for us, if you think about it.....their fame is fleeting in the grand scheme of things.
The Marx brothers believe it or not were at their height in the 1930s.........the millenials today dont give a shit about them, have no clue who they are. They were way before my time, but still regular pre-cable tv made sure I knew who they were by playing their movies over and over.
In a few more decades, Frank Sinatra will be in the class of AL Jolson......a distant flicker.....the millenials never heard of jolson, but from what i read....he was huge in his time. And again regular local tv made sure I got to see who he was...over and over.And the grand children of the millenials will not have heard of Sinatra let aloe Jolson.
Elvis will soon enough be a footnote in entertainment history.
The beatles albums today if there were still record stores would be in the discount rack. Yes even the beatles will become the new Jolson.
And so it goes, the billboards on the highways leading into reno, vegas, and AC will have all new artists on them.....
Its funny even today, I drive to reno weekly, and see many billboards for entertainment in reno....and its rare I recognize one or 2 performers on the billboards.
out with the old...in with the new.
