frustratedpilotI just made a discovery today.
There is a 16-year cycle when bad politics and bad pop music converge and collide. And 2006 is one of those years.
The previous cycle years in living memory:
1958--last year Buddy Holly was alive; payola scandal broke
1974--Watergate; hit songs included "Seasons in the Sun", "Kung Fu Fighting", and "Billy Don't Be A Hero"
1990--Sinead O'Connor and Vanilla Ice, 'Nuff said
2006--We know and loathe
But at least there's hope. Soon the pendulum will swing in a new direction and things will look better.
