I was actually being sarcastic, beause I don't think of his music as especially "edgy." This is a bad habit of mine, though, from successive stages of music snob-dom (there was a time that I thouht any recording not on a German improvised music label served imperialism). Now I think that snob-dom is stupid. People should never feel bad about what they like. <BR/><BR/>To Lone Ranger: I am really going to try to engage your query seriously, because I believe that civil discourse is essential to democracy. I think that lefties and righties are too quick to call each other names, instead of engage in debate.<BR/><BR/>I think that you are right that I should have delved more into the substance of LI's thought. If you are interested in a serious discussion, leave a comment, and when I am next at the library, I will read her book and try to respond thoughtfully to her critique of mass media and contemporary politics. <BR/><BR/>As far as her radio show goes, she mostly sticks to GOP talking points and humor at the expense of Dems and Hollywood liberals. I don't regard this style of talk as meriting a serious response-- that is, I don't think I need to write about Ted Kennedy's sobriety, or the genius of Matt Damon, issues that I think are totally irrelevant to everything. Much of what LI does (in concert with her talk radio colleagues) is create "noise" that distracts from real issues of economic and social justice in our messed-up society.<BR/><BR/>I think that LI's show is primarily entertainment (nothing wrong with that), and is primarily affective in nature: it is meant to work on the listeners' feelings. I assume (this is just a guess) that LI fans like to share in her outrage, and feel like part of a virtual political community with common values. Therefore, it seemed like describing my feelings was an appropriate response to her radio show.<BR/><BR/>So, what do you say, Kimosabi?the sad billionairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12413202274741351825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12712024.post-1124917358500123722005-08-24T14:02:00.000-07:002005-08-24T14:02:00.000-07:00OK, now that you've attacked her, how about attack...OK, now that you've attacked her, how about attacking what she says?

I've been getting them too. <BR/><BR/>Is Ben Folds hip? I like his new album (I'm a sucker for piano rock, even Supertramp and Billy Joel) but I think he's a nerd.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it outrageous that the right always gives books titles that refer to America's untold woes (the country is always ruined, messed up, screwed up, declining, subverted) when all the while they're getting rich and winning elections? They're so kvetchy.
