I love streaming - mostly a matter of taste. I tend to not follow many new shows, and I love some of the old ones, as well as no commercials.
I hadn't really thought about the theater and music - I tend to forget them for some reason. But you are right - he does love both from what I know. Also, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who cares all that much about the whole big fish eating smaller culture of Hollywood. That's part of why I would love to just sit down and have some coffee with him (plantations of coffee!) My other three from the B-verse - ASH, Alexis and Allyson. Sigh. Have you done any work in the field - you seem to know it well.
I do know the writing field - I have 34 books out in the children's field. Almost all were assigned in one way or another - either legends for Troll, or the educational market. I am good - had one book with editorial panels in Britain, Canada, Australia and the US, and I am told I was the only writer they didn't need to request any edits from. That's because their specs looked like they had been written by 4 editorial panels - beyond mentioning the topic they were garbled beyond belief. So I ignored them and went Montessori - whole to parts and then back to whole. I enjoy writing - I learn a lot. Children's books are well paid but assignments are sketchy. You are right that getting a slush pile manuscript to take off is like getting hit by lightning. I think 90% of books are flat rate now anyway.
Yeah, it's amazing what image we have of anyone in the artistic fields. I remember meeting my first author - going to her house - when I was in college. I expected a mansion with a pool. *snerk*
