It’s culture man, not politics, that’s all!

If this is where everyone comes out in dark clothing snapping their fingers..... I'm outta here. I've had enough 'culture' for a lifetime.

One bad trip was enough.

Steve Jobs did a good job at what he tried to do.

'Culturally', I'm not on the same page. Command lines and terminals are more my speed.

But you mourn however you have to.

It was Hermann Goehring who once said, “When I hear the word ‘culture’, I reach for my gun”.

To which a renowned poet responded decades later: “When I hear the word ‘gun’ I reach for my culture”.

Actually, the Goehring attibute is incorrect according to some sources on the web. The phrase apparently originated in some stage play (I don’t have time to look it up now.)

When I say ‘culture’, I mean what is sometimes and all too often nowadays dismissed as high culture, which certainly is not about finger snapping, ‘rap music’, Tom Clancy or Thomas Kinkade.
