Sad but true. And as for that closing line of yours, it takes me back to the song. Every time I hear or read that phrase, I hear Tears for Fears singing it.

If there is anything I love about my life, it's that I grew up during a renaissance of sorts in the arts, comedy, music, film - so much wonderful exploration and experimentation. It was a glorious era and I wanted it to last forever. Alas, here we are in the era of corporatized, canned, commercialized (fake - yes, I'm looking at you autotune) arts. And now, to make things even more interesting, all art must run the gauntlet of woke censors. Art is supposed to tell the truth and help us evolve. How can it tell any truth at all if it is being sanitized by the high priests and priestesses of correct thought?

Agreed! HalfтАФif not allтАФthe songs about the Vietnam war would be banned or censored or destroyed if they were released nowadays.
