Obviously there is a distinction between art and entertainment; entertainment is almost totally geared toward the audience's desires. Entertainers do what the audience wants to hear. Art, on the other hand is as much for the artist and the art as it is the audience. Not to say that an artist would never make up a separate life, or tell falsehoods in his work, but if he/she did, it would always be for an artistic purpose, and not just to entertain someone. Considering this, I want to pose a question to you all. Where's the line between art and entertainment as it relates to the music industry? Does this line need to be drawn at all? Does it matter? it is okay for something to look like art, but be merely entertainment? Is it just for entertainers to make more money than artists, as they almost always do?
