Agree to disagree, I guess.
>That's a bizarre handwave that can be applied to any course that focuses on history of any specific individual. Or anything higher education for that matter.
Considering the state of college these days, that's sounds like a pretty accurate generalization.

>Nevertheless music history would still make sense as a course.
How so? I mean, I get that there is social importance to cataloguing the history of music, same as it's important to catalogue art history... but we're swinging this pendulum of liberal arts FAR too wide.
It doesn't make sense for kids to be dropping tens of thousand of dollars for the miniscule chance of being, at best, a museum director. The demand just isn't there.
I never took a music history class- but my brother took History of Hip Hop or some shit. He mentioned it was just a junk class for an easy credit- and, as a communications major, he was well familiarized with junk classes for easy credit.
I guess these classes would be helpful if your intention is to just sort of build the best possible bar-trivia team- but otherwise, I'm sort of failing to see the point of why we should be encouraging this.

I'm not a musician, but isn't Music Theory the study of how to compose music? That would actually make sense as a course.
Are you maybe talking about Music History?

Remember, these used to be respected institutions of higher learning.
Now they're just insanely expensive daycare for fragile adults.

Reply to FBI: Mandalay Bay shooter in Las Vegas who killed 58 was angry about how casinos treated him by YourUncleBuck
They know that Paddock also rented a room overlooking Lollapalooza in Chicago. There's evidence that he was considering other locations, not just casinos. Doesn't make sense that this was just a vendetta because a casino didn't comp him a penthouse.
This seems like a very weak motive theory to cover the fact that authorities haven't people able to come up with any answers in 6 years. So much about this case is so weird.
