Gotta tell ya, when you look at the hip-hop culture and the music, I think Tony has a point.

Tony Bennett was as suprised as anyone when he got to appear on MTV in the 1990s.

I agree,
the man has a point.

We don't create lasting art or great music anymore.

I agree somewhat with Tony. Frankly what recently has stood for American Pop Culture sucks, and I believe it does not reflect well on this country.

Sadly we have been over energetic at majoring in minors and minoring in majors in our culture.

Turn on daytime TV or look at the majority of movies in the theaters.

I'm nowhere near Bennett's age, but I can imagine that if you had been a part of the entertainment business as long as he has, you'd see a definite decline over the past 20 years.

This generation coming up, yeah yeah, it's me being the cranky old guy, but it's getting worse - the kids growing up these days are surrounded by just utter crap whether it's music, TV, movies, literature, whatever.
