So, I bought Louis CK's $5 download/stream of him Live at the Beacon Theater. I don't want to go off on a tangent about how genius what he's done here is, but it is worth some recognition. I've been saying for a long time that there are ways to make an honest living, doing what you love. Louis has basically accomplished this, or at least created a successful experiment in that direction. By doing it all himself, with help I'm sure, but without a studio and distribution company, he was able to sell his product cheap and clean and turn a profit. Is he going to become a millionaire because of it? I doubt it— but I also doubt he want's to, and that may just be the whole point.
