    Sigh... oh well, it's not to be. The 70's are gone, blasted away by monolithic media and dumbed-down U.S. pop culture as filtered by TV robo-exec stupidiacs.

    Where is Nixon when you need him? Since Ronnie Raygun ruined working-class hopes, America has been down in the depressive, You-Can't-Say-That dumps, at least on TV. Movies are another matter - "Animal House" has a nude scene with a giant dildo - something that cannot be exhibited today as it competes with the Current Whitey House Occupant.

    When I attended college and graduate school in The States, all my peers were trying to fuck each other just to see what the hell was contained in the other's brain - hence, the honored phrase, "fucking one's brains out" became natty and pop-u-lar. It was left to The 80's for America to rebound into artistic expressiveness and white feminist makeover/takeover (with the music of Madonna, Cindy Lauper, Annie Lennox, etc.)

    CBS is home to "Survivor," "Big Brother" and "LOST," all of which show that a Demo-GRAPHICALLY illustrated old-folks' network can become relevant to the surging hormones of a new generation of mesmerized TV watchers... nevermind the Net or new media when all one has to do is "click" to join the homo sapiens party.

    Pass me the bong - I'm horny - "Love will keep us together."
