I posted this great piece yesterday. But evidently the link was corrupt. So here it is again, with a live link that works.

Sorry for yesterday's miscue.

For reasons he has outlined, I flatly refuse to shop in Benneton, the Gap, Banana Republic and a bunch of other stores that play that crap so loud I can't concentrate. I am also amazed by the kids who are so picky about what they eat, the philsophic vegetarians and vegans always happy to lecture their elders and betters, who nevertheless will listen to the most god-awful hateful 'music' and watch truly horrible films. They never think about what they are feeding their heads.

His argument doesn't make any sense.

The absurdity of postmodernism -- that nothing has meaning but everything must be censored because of its meaning --

I couldn't agree more, I think, ummm...Yes I agree. If I read this statement over and over, I get very dizzy...I want to go back to the 50's.

Tipper Gore was right. Unfortunately, she came across as, well, Tipper Gore.

Had J. C. Watts come forward to denounce the truly frightening lyrics in rap music, rather than Tipper or the black woman who always wore that turban thingy (her name escapes me), perhaps some of the kids woulda listened.

Nah, sorry.

"Even a tenured idiot should be able to figure out that the path leading from Duke Ellington to Snoop Doggy Dogg has not been one of evolutionary ascendancy." Amen!

Thanks for a good read. Silly postmodernists.

Loved this:

They seek to shock, to be vulgar and crass, to destroy any semblance of civilized existence; but in the end, they lack the Nietzschean will-to-power and pretend that their vulgarities are either artistic or devotional in nature.

...and this:

Speaking of gender, ever notice that in our postmodern, words-have-no-meaning, more-transgressive-than-thou age, the fearless and transgressively hip are so fearful of being labeled insensitive by the thought police that it is not uncommon to see perversions of the English language such as "Each person got on their bike." Muthaf**ka is OK, but if we don't ban the male possessive pronoun, it's a slippery slope that could lead to Attila the Hun or -- even worse -- Mark Twain.

...and of course this:

The absurdity of postmodernism -- that nothing has meaning but everything must be censored because of its meaning -- is so illogical that, like communism, it will eventually implode of its own accord.
