peter gabriel - cloudless

you have to keep in mind that old people nowadays are mostly baby boomers (or just older than baby boomers), so it's not going to produce the same kind of heart palpitations. this is the generation that's responsible for this. i'd like to see one - just one - piece it together.

"you know, we're responsible for this. but we never thought it would go this far."

the art of the 60s and 70s mostly demolishes the kind of mass marketed crap that's out today. and, it's no different when the topic is pornography.

there should be a sobering process attached to the reaction to this video: equality is a partisan issue, not a populist one. the widespread idea that the kids are being used to push a "partisan agenda" (rather than stating universal values) indicates we have a lot further to go than we thought. perhaps it's even a measure of the extreme levels of regression we've experienced since the 80s. but it needs to wake some people up: gender equality is considered a "left-wing special interest" in the united states.
