Remember the Village People, Kiss, Disco, the
song Muskrat Love, houses filled with incense, chopper motorcycles, the
song
My Ding-a-Ling, Elton John's sunglasses, and so on.

Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs comes to mind....

Actually, I don't think that people ae dumbed down
compared to whatever mythical time that they were
"smart".


One of my favorite songs when I was a teen-ager is Pleasant Valley Sunday:

The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
Seranade the weekend squire, who just came out to mow his lawn

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care

See Mrs. Gray she's proud today because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green he's so serene, He's got a t.v. in every room

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand

Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray, to places far away
I need a change of scenery

Ta Ta Ta...

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

That song was a completely anti-social, anti-success song, according to my
parents, grandparents, etc. Yet, quite prophetic when looking back now.
