Just saw this in my local paper about a new documentary about Branson. Here is a link to the website.

Hmmmm, guess I'd like to see it before commenting too much, seems like someone is trying to take the bow of the package and look inside a bit.

I am sure it will be just as accurate as Blackfish was... and when I say "accurate" I mean full of lies and/or skewed/misquoted "truths"

The Onion took on that subject by objecting to SeaWorld making the animals to perform naked.

Well Im not going to comment much either, at least not yet.

I will say this though. (Like any other story). Some will deny it till the bitter end. Some will fall for it from the word GO. Some will believe bits of it.  But Im sure it will have a very small impact on the community. (If there is any impact at all).

I think it will end up being "just" another story about a celebrity (or in this case - several celebrities/performers) and I think in the end, it doesnt really matter to many people, how others live behind the scenes. Since not one is perfect, Im sure ANYBODY could break EVERYBODY down to nothing in just a few words.

I am interested to see the final product though. --- And I bet Swoosh pretty much hit it on the head.

Without knowing too much about the project I can say this about Branson. I had to work two jobs each year to make ends meet. That still goes on. Many good folk who work two jobs live in trailer parks or the cheapest rental units they can find. There is a lot to offer in Branson, you got to work hard to get it. The PTB as in all towns try to hang on to what they got, and increase it as much as possible. That means low wages, and stepping on others to stay where they are. It happens where I live now, too. For me, Branson is a magical place I visited as a youth. Then I got to live a few years there. It was always a magical place, even when I saw some of those hard truths...then I moved to other towns as a young adult and saw it happening in those places, too. There are a few who have things and want to stay where they are, the majority of folk have little and fight and work hard just to keep themselves and their families going. There are a few who want to contribute nothing and take as much as they can get. That is the world.
