I used to worry about all of us when I'd see the results of popular
culture reflected back at me - narcisstic retrograde swaggoons on MTV
and insipid homicide homilies at the local ant farm cinema - and then on
a Napster debate some record exec spouted a stat in the papers - "...92%
of Americans buy no music at all."
That means, on any given release, some Puffy Enema Badass jerk is
rejected by 92% of us at the outset. That's somehow comforting, and
allows us to remember the problem children do not represent the forum,
they're just realizing their Puffdaddy fantasy, which is realizeable
because at the center of the broadcast nexus flamboyant idiocy reigns!
In my company, troublemakers have just about the shelf live they would
if disturbing the Corleone family bidness. I have the advantage of not
operating an open-discussion list in real time.
