Standardize that statement!

Kayla only likes music that's way out there off in space.

Philosophy Teachers

Both Prof. Silliman and my uncle Paul (Also a philosophy teacher) hace pony tails. Both have glasses. Both have a good selection of sweaters.
All philosophy teachers have pony tails, glasses, and good sweaters.

Tell me everything wrong with this argument.

The genius of Phish

It all comes down to radio. Either it plays your new single or you collapse. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Doesn't matter what you did in the past, if your new record ain't a hit on the radio, you're toast. Just look at Christina Aguilera. Her album stunk up the joint, she got no traction at radio, and she had to cancel her whole damn tour.

Didn't used to be this way. Used to be bands were developed slowly. The audience saw them as more than one hit wonders. These are the classic rock acts. Once we got to the video era, band shelf lifes shortened. Now it's nonexistent.

If you were made by the machine.

If you made it outside the system, if it was about touring and gaining fans slowly, you're laughing all the way to the bank. Recorded music revenue may be way down, but Phish is still cleaning up on the road, despite never having a mainstream radio hit, without having any radio airplay whatsoever, except for pockets of college and Triple-A exposure.  --  Bob Lefsetz

If you look at most popular musical groups today you see that each grosses the majority of their sales through albums. But in the digital age we are now a part of this seems silly considering how many ways there are to steal the newest album online for free. Why wouldn't bands try harder to make more money on the road? Phish tours extensively each year and consistently is ranked in the top grossing bands.  This is funny to me for a few reasons.

-Phish gets relatively zero radio play.
-Phish's albums are never the blowouts and money-makers of other popular artists today.
-Phish does what every group could do, play a different set every night, making each show special and unique, making fans want to attend multiple shows.

-Phish does things that often take away from revenue, such as their recent charity show in Vermont which raised over $1.2 million for flood recovery.

-Phish does as much as they can to reduce ticket prices, going as far as buying tickets from each venue so they can sell them directly to fans for face value instead of the ridiculous prices some venues charge.

-Phish allows the making of bootleg tapes.

-Phish accompanies each ticket with a free download of the show a fan has attended

-and most of all...Phish cares less about money than the majority of groups today.

Why don't more groups follow the outline that Phish has set out?
It seems like each premises shown is directly related to increased tour revenue when added together, yet no one jumps to the same conclusion and follows in their footsteps.

Response

Last week I asked if you thought a Utopia could exist, and also said that i would give my own answer. Here it is...

The main reason why people say that a Utopia is not possible is because most say that if everything were perfect all the time then it would lose its appeal.  If things were exactly how you wanted all the time, then would you still want them?  Because of this i say that we are living in a Utopia.  Things are ever changing, and we may not be happy all the time, but do we want to be?  Without the low points in our life would the highs feel as good?  I don't think they would, and that's why we are currently living in a Utopia.

Utopia

Can a Utopia truly exist?
I would love to hear your opinions about this!
Maybe forming them into a standard argument might help the thought process.
After seeing some responses I'll do my best to come up with my own answer.

Appeal to False Authority

"Your logical fallacies aren't logical fallacies at all because Einstein said so. Einstein also said that this one is better."

I've found that it's easy to learn fallacies better and retain the information if you look at them in a humorous way. Does anyone else have good examples funny fallacies to help everyone out?

Persuasion

Where do you most often see persuasion in definitions and arguments?
