I think you missed one:
:"As far as movies and concerts go, that is cherry picking two aspects of the industry that have increased, when entertainment as a whole is clearly down. The movie comparison is weak anyway, since there are many more venues to watch movies that are in fact cheaper than they were, and at far greater convenience. Concerts are also not the greatest comparison, first because it is very low supply, second, prices cannot be decreased by technology, and third the disposable income of concert goers has increased far more than average wages have increased. The $300 its costing me to see Roger Waters Friday means a lot less than the scalped $55 it cost to the Wall, and the disposable income of teen concert goers today vs teen concert goers in 1980 has grown even more than my income has.
