I am not sure I understand why following in family footsteps in family business or career is good in some places but bad in others. Come on people - focus on the quality, not the genetics. If someone is good at their job - don’t be mad. If they suck and they only got the job because of their family - that’s crappy. But hard work is hard work, and having connections is valuable no matter if they’re related or not.

When New York Magazine wrote about "nepo babies" last December, Ben Platt — star of stage and screen, and son of movie and theater producer Marc Platt — appeared front and center. @RollingStone asked him about that when they interviewed him recently — and he didn't appreciate the question. Here's what happened.

If you like early Slipknot, you should check out Vended.
Not because of the family connection (the sons of Corey Taylor and Clown) but because they sound like Slipknot before they lost whatever it was they lost after their first album. They are that good.

My little celebration video about Dorothy Dadridge's family... people often complain about but, sometimes you have to celebrate talented families!

Why, with this modest loan of ten million dollars cash and a billion dollars of apartheid diamonds, I built this empire of 500,000 dollars.

Meanwhile, here's Martha Gill in the Guardian on & why their corrosive impact on ideas of fairness & merit-based appointments is actually more serious than you might think... its a good read, that I think offers a clear statement of the problem of that is actually much wider than just in arts & entertainment... worth eight minutes of your time this Sunday morning!

If you thought American nepotism was bad, try throwing in fifth-generation acting dynasties and £37,000-a-year boarding schools.
