music
civilization has stagnated. at the end of the week at camp michigania they hold a teen dance. they played the same songs i danced to as a teen 25 years ago. the radio stations in pennsylvania were playing the same songs they played when i left 22 years ago. we doomed. maybe it's not their fault. maybe it's organized music. maybe it really is so much more profitable to sell the same old crap, which they own forever thanks to skillful manipulations of copyright law, than it is to create new stuff, or acquire it, and sell it instead.
