You do know that occasionally talented people work their way through the system, don't you? Or do you think it's all rigged? Because I'm at the theatre alot and there is certainly a vast array of talent out there.
Unfortunately, some of the creepy playwrights who come from the mid-West regionals clog up the system horribly. That's why I mentioned Tracy Letts. I doubt anybody wants his bod.
Obviously, my original post was waaaaay too facile and glib.
I guess I was generalizing too much. There are talented people. I realized your post was meant to glib. Maybe the dog shooter reminded me too much of the pretentious fakes and sociopaths who populate the “art world”.
