"Picture a thirteen-year-old boy sitting in the living room of his family home while wearing his headphones or watching MTV. He enjoys the liberties hard won by the alliance of philosophic genius and political heroism, consecrated by the blood of martyrs; he is provided with comfort and leisure by the most productive economy ever known to mankind; science has penetrated the secrets of nature in order to provide him with the marvelous, lifelike electronic sound and image reproduction he is enjoying. And in what does progress culminate? A pubescent child whose body throbs with orgasmic rhythms; whose feelings are made articulate in hymns to the joys of onanism or the killing of parents; whose ambition is to win fame and wealth in imitating the drag-queen who makes the music. In short, life is made into a nonstop, commercially prepackaged masturbational fantasy.
This description may seem exaggerated, but only because some would prefer to regard it as such."
--Allan Bloom, "The Closing of the American Mind."
And we'll offer ourselves up as proof that you're not exaggerating.
"The body sings while the mind is sleeping.
But, the mind knows the body's revolting..."
--Holy Ghost Revival, "Girls Night Out."
