Our culture has continued to slide giggling into the pit.
It is now thirty years since you last heard anyone hum a tune from a current popular song.Concerts of serious music rarely include anything less than half a century old. Very few of us could name a living painter or architect. Entire years pass when no American outside the academy spontaneously quotes a line of verse written by any American poet younger than Elizabeth Bishop (b. 1911), or a British poet younger than Philip Larkin (b. 1922). The middlebrow novel is slipping into extinction. Movies are an extension of the comic-book industry; only TV drama shows occasional flashes of brilliance. The churches are branch offices of Globalist Multiculturalism, Inc.: the Episcopal church in my sleepy, 360-year-old Long Island town advertises Misa en Español.

My wife and I went to our 6th RUSH concert 3 years ago and it will probably be the last rock concert we ever attend.
The price was high, over $200 for 2 tickets, in an outdoor arena, plus all the other costs. We discovered that 80% of the attendees had no intention of enjoying the performance and tried their best to destroy it for everyone else. And a t-shirt was $40. For a fucking tshirt!
Never again.
