Why I am so obsessed with politics, considering the the title of the blog, IMHO, politics will be pop culture for the foreseeable future. Entertainment and politics are converging more and more, for the good (young voters engaged) and bad (News Corp).A carpet bagger, after all, is nothing if not opportunistic.
At the same time, with the strike on, little to no business is being done (save unscripted). Music is retarded to me right now. I work with artists, and people who sell singles aren't artists.
So that leaves me media and politics.
On the media side, the recession (it's here, deal with it) and positive turn in the country's mind, which of the tabloids will go first? Can People stay the weekly version of USAToday or have to stoop? TMZ, CelebTV, Page6, AccessHollywood - who will remain by 09?
Im thinking the O in 08 stands for Oprah. Even Fox has a new positive reality show and no one gets humiliated.
