Perhaps with some recent changes, things will break apart more rapidly -- who watches network TV now? Who watches the same show (in any manner) the same time on the same day, week after week?? Remember when Thurs night was "must see TV" with Seinfeld and Friends and a couple other shows? How gone is that era?? Culture is becoming fractured and there are lots and lots of niches.
I think it is a good thing. I'd like to see our culture start moving very fast indeed -- it's harder for the Big Boys to control the population if the Big Boys can't keep up with what "everyone" is doing, watching or thinking.
Really? You mean that crap with no discernible melody and generic female and male voices that I hear in retail establishments on their public address systems would have been hits in 1965? I don't think so. I was spinning records as a radio DJ then and am familiar with the music of that year and I cannot imagine the transfer of the junk that I hear today to 1965 would have worked.
