@Krumple,

Me!!?? An Oswald Spengler addict. No chance. I am marinaded in our Culture. I like Gregorian chanting and strippers. Beer and football and cricket and horseracing.
I was watching the Tom Petty movie Runnin' Down a Dream and his drummer ran off. So he invited a guy called Dave Grohl who said that it was the first time he had looked forward to playing the drums since Nirvana ended.
He must have got that somewhere and found it was nowhere at all.
It's a great movie in a number of ways. How to ham your way into the hearts and minds of millions. With another Nirvana--Freedom.
And nobody is going to feel the withdrawal symptoms of the obviously disappearing freedom which an interlocked, globalised, technological society requires as a matter of course, more than those who raised the idea up highest and made a God of it. And as Rock and Roll was the messenger of freedom there is a sadness in it reflecting on its own disappearance. We have to keep the old stagers pounding the boards to know it still exists. Dylan's 71.
We have Pop Idols now who are chosen for us by a mysterious process. A ******* dog won Britain's Got Talent the other day.
We feel more like doing sympathetic "aaaahhhs" more and more as the years go by.
