Dan — not a Debby Downer, I think they’re legitimate points. People don’t like anything that requires much attention. I think that’s it — in a population that never sleeps, you’d think there’d be more time to pay attention to different pursuits, but the opposite is true. Everyone pays half of their attention to 4 different meaningless things at once. Sure, we’ve all done it, but some people don’t do anything but that…
Primetime… no time for humanities. It’s like a catchphrase to remember. Though, if the deeper stuff is always buried underneath the dross, where will we end up?
So, with the shortening shot lengths (that feature film length shocked me…), how do we communicate anything of meaning?
Sweet! I love it when people read the entire links… I mean the crap I link can get really looong. Anyhow, the valuation of homes is manic depressive, and these neighborhoods are just suffering as a result. We’ve got to get the wealth redistributed if we are to avoid seeing the majority of communities fall into disrepair. Though, I’m sure it isn’t that simple.

Go listen to Greg Laswell’s song called The One I Love. His album, “Three Flights from Alto Nido” feels like what Joshua Radin’s sophomore attempt should have been.
Very, very good song. (And as usual, don’t watch the crap that the YouTube uploader put on the video — just enjoy the music without watching the video!)
