I know it's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it, like it--yes I do! -- The Rolling Stones "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll"
TRANSCENDENCE RESTORES HUMOR. Spirit restores humor. Suddenly smiling returns. Too many representatives of too many movements--even many very good movements, such as feminism, environmentalism, meditation, spiritual studies--seem to lack humor altogether. In other words, they lack lightness, they lack a distance from themselves, a distance from the ego and its grim game of forcing others to conform to its contours.... They should all trade two pounds of ego for one ounce of laughter. -- Ken Wilber "One Taste"
I am ancient enough to remember when rock 'n' roll stood for FREEDOM. Nowadays all too many rock icons hobnob with the elites and stand for the establishment status quo--political correctness, and lockstep uniformity. They are nothing more than elitist snobs dressed in rock 'n' roll costumes. I don't know if they are corrupt, willfully blind, or simply stupid.
