The current and near future ongoing state of our economy is a real downer.  It's good to be aware and remain cognizant of what's happening in our economy and obviously be involved in the upcoming elections...however, it's no surprise that people are also looking to escape the reality currently surrounding them.

Even during "Hard Times" and wartime, people need to be entertained.  We are now, just like the American people in the 1930s and 1940s, no exception to that need. In the 1930s and 1940s people enjoyed many forms of entertainment, particularly if they could do so inexpensively.

With the addition of sound, movies became increasingly popular. Comedies, gangster movies, and musicals helped people forget their troubles. In the early 1940s, some of the great dramas of American film reached theaters. Radio was also wildly popular, offering many kinds of programs, from sermons to soap operas.

Entertainers are gifted individuals who afford regular folks the opportunity to escape - if only briefly.  Through music, a good book, art, some great shows, or a comedy act; people are able to forget their troubles and enjoy themselves.  We've all had the desire to shut off the world and even more so in times of financial crisis.

But with that being said, somethings haven't changed - people are looking to be entertained on the cheap.  

There isn't anything much cheaper than the internet and the web.  What am I saying to you??
