[Dixielandjazz] That Funny Jas Band From Dixieland

Because that's how the creatures who rise to the top of large corporations 
think.

1) There is nothing but the making of a profit.
2) What sold before will sell again, always has, always will, so keep on 
rolling out the same product, making as few substantive changes as possible 
along the way.
3) Innovation is risky, because, even if all you intended to do was to make 
production more efficient in order to increase profit margin,  you may 
inadvertently change a known money maker just enough to mess up sales.
4) Art is much worse than innovation because it intentionally changes things 
things a lot, and most of it is not commercial (=saleable), so revert to 
rule 1 and not only not support art, but actively destroy it when you can to 
prevent diversion of customers' attention from your own product.
