It's how chappelle can talk very seriously about race relations to a mixed race audience and still keep the atmosphere light. | ||

Everyone knows that its easier to make simple minded stuff for the general audiance. the exageration is saying artsy stuff never makes money in creative media. it's a harder road in an already difficult enviroment, but just because people like pop doesn't mean you can't make a living in classical music. | ||
