Yep, I meant #2 from https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/on_the_street Idioms are hard! Want to apologize on behalf of the English language.

That's not my question. There's exactly one way to ask my question. "Do you think prisoners should be charged $250/night for their incarceration?"

Good point, yeah I guess the social and political aspects of music are equally if not more important. Probably should stop listening to so much jazz. So glad I did not attempt to be a professional musician.

Sounds like a pretty good investment. What else would you call it? Also, there are plenty of alternatives: trade schools, bootcamps, etc. Finally, why introduce stereotypes? This is not the 1950s, you can't and shouldn't say stupi

The biggest apple/orange problem with OPs comparison is that in a university, there is a competitive admission process. Universities are planned, elite communities. You can't do that in a city. "Oh sorry NYC is now for people

I am very curious now, because you seem to be alluding to it: is there any real world example of any kind of artist who is both "compelling" and did most of their studying or work in a group? Or is this just all in theory, lik

Incredibly hard to understand. As if, say, Einstein waved his hand and produced a rigorous theory of the general relativity. And spent no time on it himself. Or if, say, Coltrane revolutionized music but never practiced. I agree that advers

It makes sense, it could look really bad for Chewy. Say your cat got eaten by a pit bull, and then a week later you're reminded what happened by a box of cat food they automatically shipped to your door.
