Art and commerce can rival peanut butter & jelly. Like Paul & John, or Mick & Keith, Ella & Louis, or Nancy & Lee, it can be awesome music when harmonious. They don't need to be enemies. Isn’t that the promise of “Hollywood”? That one generates the other? WHERE did we go wrong?

Can you help me with something? If you've read my book #HopeForFilm, I need some prompts to spark discussion for each chapter. Any suggestions are truly appreciated. Did anything specific encourage you to think further/deeper than you had about a certain aspect previously?

What are the solutions? Things are getting better (but they are also always getting worse too). One step forward, two steps back. Two steps forward, one step back. And yes the rock sometimes rolls back and crushes us, but it still is worth the effort (I think).
