Good example. Like Neil Young, not his typical show but those solo Broadway shows were crazy popular and incredible (at least based on what I saw from the Netflix recording).

I forgot about Andrew Bird. I've seen him live but forgot all that looping was created live and rather than pre-recorded.
Didn't know about Fiona Apple. Would love to see that show.

We do not live in a post scarcity society. A significant amount of work by someone is still required to produce the goods and services that most people need to live. The amount of money and resources needed for everyone on earth to live a life of the median American would push our resources to the brink and create huge amounts of pollution and GHG.
Now, we could be doing a lot better at distributing very basic things like food and clean water to the poorest among us, but that doesn't mean we're in a post scarcity society. There's a whole lot of shit that most of us want.
