I'd like to think that McLaren's cackling in the Great Beyond. He really didn't need to make the Swindle; he just needed to be patient and let capitalism sprinkle its magic dust to make his point.Flex wrote: ↑25 Jan 2019, 7:15pmMy parents are gonna FREAKDr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Jan 2019, 7:09pm"Punk."

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Really? I gotta say, I doubt McLaren thought he was playing a long game, but on a macro level, his Debord/spectacle view of rock has proven to be a seaworthy craft. Nasty person tho he may have been.Kory wrote: ↑25 Jan 2019, 7:39pmHey they set up a shop in Rehearsal Rehearsals with a little punk museum.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
My students have consistently been baffled by my twin assertions that (a) punk rock saved my life when I was 16 and continues to constructively inform my worldview; and (b) it's largely been a pointless, even regressive movement except for being a hilarious if unintentional critique of popular culture and consumer capitalism as a whole.Kory wrote: ↑25 Jan 2019, 7:49pmOh I wasn't disagreeing.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Jan 2019, 7:45pmReally?

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I relate to (a) for sure—would you agree that if it was true of more people, then (b) would not be true? Rather, if punk changed the lives of more people, would its impact on the world be more valuable, or is the way in which it changes lives inherently pointless?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Jan 2019, 8:00pmMy students have consistently been baffled by my twin assertions that (a) punk rock saved my life when I was 16 and continues to constructively inform my worldview; and (b) it's largely been a pointless, even regressive movement except for being a hilarious if unintentional critique of popular culture and consumer capitalism as a whole.Kory wrote: ↑25 Jan 2019, 7:49pmOh I wasn't disagreeing.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Jan 2019, 7:45pmReally?

edit: I just now, after the weekend, realized that your "really?" was in reference to the fact of the Doc Martens shop, rather than thinking I was disagreeing. Duh.
