Hmmm, well Madonna really is the question here. Presumably, after "the revolution", the power of "marketing" would diminish. I mean presumably the power of promoters to make a star would diminish. However, what about the power of the media spectacle? And who would decide which musicians get shown on television or radio?

Any aspiring Baudrillard's want to have a go at this question?
