Although Milkman feels no real love for his own family or for Hagar, Pilate is the force that helps him open his heart.
Another influence on Milkman's conscience comes from his long-time
friend named "Guitar," who is angry and serious about retribution. Guitar
questions him on his selfish behavior and shallow values and tells him,
"Now you know something about yourself you didn't know before; who you are
and what you are.... If things ever got tough you'd melt. You're not a
serious person, Milkman" (104). The legends of Milkman's heritage become
real to him, and finally, firmly establish his values. The praise for his
grandfather's character is empowering for Milkman, who now can actually
feel the connection to his family. Milkman, although it was too late,
became grounded in his identity...

...

Milkman almost willingly meets his death, finally at peace with himself.
This story influenced me because, as I establish my own identity,
there are always influences that can draw me one way or the other. Despite
our childhood influences, as adults we need to consciously choose our
decisions, based on what is really important. It is easy to become
confused about what is important, especially when there is mystery,
excitement or "coolness" involved, but to choose on the side of character
is always more constructive. I think this story is enlightening, moving
and highly entertaining because everyone can relate to Milkman's struggle
for truth.

Music is something that reaches the soul. In other more pragmatic words we could state that its role is to answer psychological needs. From this pint of view the greatest opportunity that the artist benefits from is the one of making good quality music. Normally the high quality product should sell itself. In reality it will need a bit of promotion and advertising to achieve its purpose of becoming

Another writer notes, "It is important to point out that the marketing/merchandising effort is not a haphazard or casual affair. Not only are licensees carefully selected, but the Disney company insists on coordinating all aspects of the design and marketing of the products" (Wasko, 2001, p. 56).
