“If you do not think that the intellectual quality of our nation has declined since 1958, I suggest you visit the website “Democratic Underground”.”
And, Colonel, if you think thats because of rock and roll music, I suggest you consult your big government “conservative” friends in the Republican party. I agree that the intellectual quality of our nation has declined remarkably, but I blame the federal government’s involvement in education and the growth of the nanny state, not the fact that kids starting playing electric guitars in large numbers. That’s horse and buggy thinking at its best! Instead of putting the blame where it belongs, you’re looking for a scapegoat.
I bet Isaac Newton would not have amounted to much had he spent his adolescence listening to rock “music” and playing Harpsichord Hero.
