I kinda in the school of thought that teachers should teach and stay away from politics. Then again think actors/celebrities should as well.

When did anyone mention politics?

re: l'affaire Spotify:

As more -- ahem -- 'artists' demand that their respective catalogues be pulled from Spotify's streaming services, the odds of Justin Bieber's career experiencing a renaissance improve. Exponentially.

True story:

My dearly departed (from this realm) friend, Alex Cockburn, tried -- IIRC it was circa 1992 -- to mount a boycott of the New York Times in order to wean from it a single reader, one Noam Chomsky, who -- Alex was convinced -- by cancelling his subscription would become happier and more productive, and instead turn his attention to The Sporting News.

MTV: Started out airing music videos then switched to reality programming.

CourtTV: Aired live court proceedings then switched to reality programming "true crime" re-enactments.

Prediction...

Spotify: Using music to lure listeners into its ultimate profit center, i.e., podcasts.

I remember first grade. Learning to read & write, doing simple mathematics, making new friends. And then all of the sudden people's teeth started falling out.

As a foot note Sj...why were all those "Quadratic Equations" so important way back when, and we never got to use them?
