Pilch clearly says the audience has an implied say (besides whether they attend or not) over what that content should be which i was calling ridiculous. False. You need not mischaracterize my position to address it. The point is that the artist creates a product, a brand, that should she present in advertisements, she should deliver it in concert. I would expect, for example, to hear angry leftist politics in a George Carlin concert or one by Howard Stern because of the brands that they have established. I would not expect such a thing from Itzak Perlman-- and this is entirely reasonable. If an artist draws an audience based upon her established, non-controversial brand and then switches it to in concert present a brand that is inflammatory, she is simply being immoral and it is not being a "baby" to get upset about the deception. The moral thing to do would be to return the people's money. If they are to pay for advertisements for Moore's movie and for the leftist agenda, they ought to be able to pay for this by choice and not by bait and switch. You're morally blind.
