Andy: I hear in this a hankering for the good old days.
Well sometimes a bassoon can sound like a foghorn, I guess.
But I was addressing John's point that people seldom stray
outside their socioeconomic class these days, and fail to
identify with anyone who is not precisely ... themself.
Part of this failure to understand seems rooted in the way
community (a basic human need, not an old-fashioned
sentiment) works out. What do people share? Shopping malls
maybe, maybe highways. Other than that, our galvanizing
community seems to consist of TV.
Everyone knows the jingles to ads and the feisty TV
characters who reflect ... the viewers. Our lowest common
denominator.
