C'mon now.
I finally just got used to the replacement of Spring with Flood Season.
Now with the multiple deadly tornadoes spawned by fairly classic super cells?
Including one which ran from west of Springfield to almost Rhode Island?
A tornado watch as far north as Sunday River (Bethel and Newry, Maine)?
Fuck me...

We try hard to find meaning in pop junk because we're basically an infantilised culture. It's like small kids getting attached to a teddy or a funny hat. They invest a lot of meaning in everyday stuff - for them it's healthy, an act of imagination.
However, we don't grow out of using our imagination in that fetishised manner. We're encouraged to keep doing it as consumers. Even in old age now.
No-one's immune. The most hardline leftists and anarchists can be very invested in their DVDs and music tastes. I was basically trained in it. 'Highbrow' analysis imploded since the 80s really (a 'levelling' to compensate for the aggressive inequality agenda, I reckon), so now we apply 'lit-crit' to anything - including teddies and funny hats. Even presidential campaigns are exercises in fetish and baby talk.
Wayne,
I think this was mean for the post above.
Still, it really does help to answer my question. Thank you for that.
