did some digging down a deep rabbit hole-
Wolf Club- retrowave, synthwave elctro pop dance. Look it up on FB.
UTA raid on CAA taking top agents and clients to follow left them out of air. Raids happen. The devil eats its own.
Agency wars is more about multi million and billion profits, equity shares and getting the agents to defect and bring their clients with them. It’s a dirty world. It is a world o ratlines couched with glitter and glitz.
Artists like Jordan Wolfson creating sick art of mobile life size dolls eeking verbal trash and alluring onlookers with seductive movement, and yes Fine Art is a good place politicians and ratlines like to launder money.,. next.
Also embedded in all of this Scientology or not are the pedo lovers and drugs. Lots of drug deaths in 2015.
I did digs for basic data to give me an idea of how dep this rabbit hole goes. Lots of it is boring Wikip stuff you can get anywhere so have to connect dots.
First thought was category- these people are all in bed together somehow tied by the industry that also includes in its star light- journalists (if they exist anymore) TV anchors, and politicians including DA’s, lawyers etc.
One thing that reminded me of the ‘old days’ was Rat Pack Sammy Davis jr, Dean martin, Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra. Did I miss any?
Media term for an informal group of entertainers centered on the Las Vegas casino scene in the 1960s
The one thing that stood out was how much of a HUGE spider web this industry is weaving the web around politics, judicial system, fine art, creative art, musical art world and television news that isn’t news anymore- it is Hollywood-style gossip shows. Reality TV mixed with opinions. NO news folks- just opinions.
Getting to know the BIG Agencies is an eye opener-
Again- agency wars-
