Sigh... I hate edgy for edgy’s sake. Some marketing twit thinks its cool, and it plays to the squares.
I hate being cutting edge.
But... I’m not even watching the great sportsing event.
I’m watching a Jaws marathon. Started with Jaws 3, then Jaws 2 — and am now watching the sublime original movie.
I’m glad I’m in my mid 50s... that I remember the US when it was great... I have more years behind me than ahead of me, thank G-d.
I will do what I can, and I ache for my daughter and what she will face.
All these hip music acts are just so basic as the kids say.
I’m tired of it all.
Fret not, FRiend.
My “hobby” is local music. I go out at least once a month to see if there is anything worthwhile. It’s $10 well-spent. And there ARE really good locals, who are hungry and not stupid. Every now and then, you’ll get a band from out of town that is worth your while.

“Edgy for edgy’s sake” was apparently the overall theme of the Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony. But I suppose it is to be expected from the French, who seem to enjoy exuberantly celebrating the decomposition of their culture.
