Manufacturing Consent should be required viewing for anyone
who has TV-age watching children; one of the best dissections of propaganda/entertainment ever performed, and as straightforward an indictment of same as "Brave New World"
or "1984".
Why did David & David stop making music? It just stopped meaning what it was supposed to, and as hard as we tried, we couldnt put Humpty together again. Like space, celebrity is a vacuum, and requires special equipment that we hadnt been checked out on. I consider the collapse of David & David the best thing that ever happened to me, in spite of all the suffering that followed. If it hadnt happened, I'd be one of the monsters that I rail against. I think Dave feels the same way.
Yrs,
David
