The Other Lost Season

This looks a lot like the NHL, but it's the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra:

Musicians refuse to vote on latest offer

When music returns to Powell Hall, will the players be around to play?

How come no one's floating the idea of a salary cap or tying the musicians' salaries to revenues? Because they're artists? They're artists for a starting salary of $70,000 a year in a break-even or worse venture often propped up by public funds.

Perhaps the musicians' union bosses are onto something. It's just like sports, and perhaps the musicians should be paid accordingly.
