By the way--as tacky as it is to call attention to yourself in a story you submit--I am more interested in Penn's call for a "cultural revolution."  For me, it harkens back to Tyler Durden's speech in Fight Club about us being the middle children of history.  Where is our great war, our great depression?  What will define us other than our absolute lust for consumer products. Teenagers taking over the cola wars--egh.  

Billy Joel and his generation may not have started the fire but ours is doing a bang up job of pissing on it and reducing it to ashes.

And if movies are our cultural barometer, then what do you all think it says about us when we have re-makes and sequels galore. Historians are going to look back and laugh their asses off about this dead zone in America.  And since most every other country copies us now...well, the only other thing that has a downward spiral that I can think of is a toilet.

If this depresses you--tough.  If this makes you think and gives you a reason to post a comment then bring it on.  ANYthing that makes me laugh will be appreciated. Ciao!
