The same people who would care about the G-20 are the same people who go the museums, concerts and actually read newspapers. They are few and far between and old and don't use their turn signals. I once asked some young ad people who worked for me to go see a movie called "The Festival Express" It was a documentary about a rock and roll tour,that went across Canada by rail. On the train were The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band, Delany & Bonnie, etc. The concert footage was incredible, and their conversations aboard the train about the Viet Nam war and wondering if they'd get paid was incredibly cool. And they were funny. Guess how many of my 12 creatives went to see it? None! If they won't go to see rock and roll, guess how many will give a rat's you know what about the G-20, other than it's an inconvenience. And these are smart kids. Imagine the lack of impact it will have on the "NRA folks". I'm afraid it'll be the Steelers forever, and God forbid Big Ben gets hurt. Actually I'd like that. Charlie Batch is a much better human being. Sorry to be so pessimistic, but I've been here for about 15 years and nothing has changed except there are more condos.
