Beyond that it is a bit confusing that you claim open mindedness and narrow mindedness as it suits your arguments

Here your arguments/statements are sound, nothing really to refute

the entertainment industry spends immense amounts of $ and sometimes still resorts to the throw it to the wall and see what sticks theory - which success for some "breakout"/indie bands can be attributed to

Which leads me to discussing music ....... I'd be interested in hearing what you enjoy listening to. Or what musical efforts you consider interesting

You tend to discuss theory as opposed to practical applications or practicality

Also you really didn't comment on the social significance of the Ramones, they were ground breaking both musically and socially (which is odd to say musically as they were very stripped down and basic)

I threw the Sex Pistols stuff in to show "proof" of your corp music machines and for the irony

I'll keep an eye out for "merchants of cool"

Don't agree with your earlier statement that Popular music is the non productive correlate to life in this country. Soulless and without value

Or better expressed as I don't feel that about all pop music
Yes some of the homogenized, aimed at teens/20's will fit that pigeonhole but many pop musical efforts and stylings are thought provoking and well worth listing to and very enjoyable


When we have time another day I'd like to go further into "The vicious cycle that capitalism locks people into (work, desire for escape, work, desire for escape) leaves little energy for actual "escape".
America is a nation that avoids effort. It rewards those that create things that remove effort, esp in leisure. Music is no different. Popular music is the non productive correlate to life in this country. Soulless and without value"

Does the drug culture that is prevalent in America disprove or prove there is actually little energy needed or expended for escape?
What about organized religion and the effort for escape?
