I was reading about the recent news in Houston and encountered the following sentence.
Everybody at that event had a responsibility, from the artist on down.
I guess it means everyone is responsible for what happened starting from the artist. But I couldn’t confirm my understanding. Can you give some examples or further explanations?
Answer
It implies that the artist was the most important person at the event, and ‘from him/her on down’ is the hierarchy of people present down to the [supposedly] least important.
