I seriously doubt any of them have ever read anything since they were in high school. And they probably didn’t read more than they absolutely had to. It’s fair to say Bachman could probably crush all of them together in a game of who knows what.
Reading is passe. Time and Newsweek are as thin as Weekly Reader these days.
They get all of their worldview from The Onion, The Daily Show, SNL quotes, Anderson Pooper, and Bill Maher.
I’m an amateur musician, and I loved rock and roll back in sixties, but reading articles about the big rock heroes from that time gave me the impression few of them read much of anything except maybe their names on their pay stubs. That goes for entertainers in general as the astounding ignorance propounded by various Hollyweird celebs proves. I’d be more than amazed if any members of all the talk show bands have ever heard of F. Hayek. Probably mentioning Milton Friedman or Tom Sowell would draw a blank from those clowns.
