I remember years ago, Joan Rivers of all people, saying basically that if 10% of the population likes you, you are a HUGE star, and that it doesn't really matter that the other 90% hate your guts.

In fact, you can get rich saying things you don't even believe, that you know will enrage the vast majority of people, because a certain segment of the population will LOVE you just because most people HATE you, right or wrong.

I think Garafalo, Robbins, Sarandon, et. al might be busier than ever, even though "everyone" hates them now. For example, if Garafalo wrote a nonsensical, vacuous anti-establishment book, every lefty in America would rush out and buy it, whereas in the past, nobody on the left or right would have any particular reason to.

They might lose a few mainstream gigs, but their identified segment of wierdos will deify them and champion them at every turn.

" if Garafalo wrote a nonsensical, vacuous anti-establishment book, every lefty in America would rush out and buy it"

They may buy it, but how many would read it or how many lefties can read?
