Here an example of popular music which is not a commercial product first and last...Never played on any radio and TV in US...Or in Canada... Why?
a clue: the power of a business of conditioning the mind to buy meaningless products.to make them "popular" Commercial crap for everyone with no soul nor traditional roots...
She is the Russian Joan Baez or Joni Mitchell, all two great popular artists that never compromised their souls to create "commercial" music ....
Popular poets and musicians are not commercial objects created for the masses entertainment by business...Corporations can sell them yes but they never created them....It is not the case for many "commercial" "artists"....
The fact that the border between popular high quality music and commercial product is not a clear line, dont means that the distinction is not there and useless...
