When I read non-fiction books that hone in on specific subjects, one of the things I look out for is how well they communicate complexity, or technical information that would not ordinarily be accessed by individuals. Finding a book that methodically recounted, and exposed a similar history was quite lovely. These services have changed the way that I work in more ways than one. I don’t download music anymore – not since Spotify and other streaming services came to India.
I’ve recounted my own personal history with audio forms, downloading and piracy here. Music is a very important part of my life. It's unlikely that she would have taken that first step towards empowerment without Holland.How Music Got Free: The End of an Industry, the Turn of the Century, and the Patient Zero of Piracy But there are only fifty states, and it takes an extraordinary amount of drive to become governor of one of them. Almost every high school has an alumnus who has achieved something in art or entertainment, but a lot of people sell one painting or appear in one film and become a hero to their home town. They also exist to give young people an opportunity for change and growth, even if they never use a paintbrush again. Art, music and theater education don't exist solely to create professional artists, musicians and actors. 3) She wasn't "wasting" Holland's efforts by going into politics.
Thirty years later she's the governor (not the mayor!), because in 1966, Holland helped her gain confidence for the first time. Did no one else hear her speech about "I just wanted to be good at *something*"? She listed all the fabulous achievements of her parents and siblings, and concluded, "I'm the only one who's." The missing word would have been "useless" or "worthless". 2) Her goal was not to be a professional musician. Then she could, and did, perform in the band without dragging down the whole ensemble. The idea was to get her just above the level of making a fool of herself as she did the first time he called on her in class. They both knew that she didn't sound professional, and wasn't going to. 1) "Playing the sunset" was Holland's way of getting Gertrude to relax so she could play the notes fluidly. So many people have complained about the Gertrude Lang character (Alicia Witt), Holland's interaction with her, and the purpose of the character, and I am simply amazed at the hostility.
