The next big part of

The next big part of the music discussion is going to be my long promised post on Cultural Carbon Monoxide. I will not have a chance to work on it tonight or Wednesday, but may a little bit tomorrow. I will have all evening Thursday, so I will probably have it then. In the meanwhile, please comment away on the other two big posts, as this will be more fruitful if we keep the whole thing as one big conversation instead of a bunch of little conversations.

The whole Cultural Carbon Monoxide theory posits that human culture can be roughly grouped into High culture, folk culture, and commodity culture. It has roots in some (very little) Marxist theory (which I generally detest, but it has a little seed of truth in it, otherwise no one would believe in it at all) and some distributism (but I am not big on quoting GKC). I cannot suggest a whole lot of background reading, but perhaps a little physiology on how CO kills an organism would be useful (although I will explain the basics). Also, Neil Postman might be a good starting point. Oh Boy! This will be fun!
