| As you listen to this EXCELLENT rendition (Krauss couldn't mess up a song if she tried) and watch the video, think about this: This event provided REAL economic stimulus and employment to many people. The event required set-up crews, take-down crews, sound crews, lighting crews, video crews, back-up musicians, vendors (food and souvenir), security people, parking attendents, shuttle-bus drivers, ticket sellers and takers, etc. On top of that, supplies of vendor products and production equipment--building supplies, recording equipment, sound equipment, etc.--lhad to be bought or rented. Neighboring businesses no doubt picked up extra business from attendees. And in the process, it provided desired entertainment to many devoted golf fans (don't ask me why, but some people like watching golf--personally, I prefer watching grass grow), including one cool rocking granny really getting into it at the 1:04 point. That, folks, is how to stimulate an economy. That is how our economic system can work. That is America. |
