A green room is a room in a theater, studio, or other public venue for the accommodation of performers or speakers when not required on the stage. Its function is as a break/touch-up lounge so that performers do not have to go back to wardrobe/dressing rooms and are still easily accessible for their call. The term is often attributed to the area historically being painted green [1][2] however in modern use the area may or may not include any green in its color scheme.[3] [4]

I felt like the story was describing the way fate can screw us over, even when we have prepared as well as we can. The father loses his entire segment due to the unavoidable crisis with the oil tanker. Another interesting topic I saw was the futility of the knowledge the son had composed. It even mentions that the information he was sharing was almost outdated anyway, as morning shows were being cut. I guess you could also look at the fact that the people were forced to give themselves up to become their product. To sell to people in the audience who were just there to sell their own product as well.
