Decline of Classic Rock = Rise of Tom Tancredo

From the Paladin of the Palisades:

Brooksie's "The Segmented Society" column in Nov 20 times is choice. A
new hi-lo in classic Brooks column blueprint #1: Armchair sociology.

Hi-Lolites

1. DB's signature anecdotal fieldwork featuring celebrity tiresome half
hippie windbag guitarist Little Steven Van Zandt.

2. Column pivot point: "He describes a musical culture that has lost
touch with its common roots. And as he speaks, I hear the echoes of
thousands of other interviews concerning dozens of other spheres."

"It seems that whatever story I cover, people are anxious about
fragmentation and longing for cohesion. This is the driving fear behind
the inequality and immigration debates, behind worries of polarization
and behind the entire Obama candidacy."

3. Conclusion drawn - Death of classic rock = Tom Tancredo

4. Favorite quote as he weaves this magical thought crapestry: "
Computers allow musicians to produce a broader range of sounds."

Perhaps Davy can use computers to produce a written version of the
broader range of sounds - the printed equivalent of the dog whistle.
