Can America be "great" without great culture?
#32
Here is what many people consider the worst music possible, at least if one has no desire to make an investment of time, to put up with nuance and wit (as much wit as old Anton could do). It grows on you, and it is completely unsuited to compression. It is definitely not modern; it clearly belongs to the expressive world of the late nineteenth century.    





This is part of how I reacted to the debasement of popular music.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
