Yeah I was talking to guys at the Ricochet gathering last night about 
it.  Bill Fox mentioned that he's part of a band that tries to do more 
thoughtful sons (Tull, Floyd, etc.) but people don't want to hear it.  
They want to heard the same dumb crap that's been overplayed and never 
really said anything in the first place.   I told him it was a facet of 
our underchallenged culture.  People have been sold false security, told 
they have the right to have a job and get paid even if they don't 
produce anything OR the government owes them a meal ticket etc.  
Meanwhile we're being sold out because a system like that can't support 
itself.

  BUT..the result is people who want idle music.  They don't want to be 
challenged.   They want to be comfortably numb as it were.  Better 
political awareness makes for better music.  Seems on topic to me. :-) -Bob
