I do not watch a lit of TV anymore, Not only do I not have tie, I am not entertained by the programs,
I hear of Twin Peaks 2 and X File returns and I simply have no desire to see them. Same with all the shows like Game of Thrones and Stranger Days and Mr. Robot and I know that if I watch them, I will feel a I will not be entertained. I will feel assaulted. This is the same issue I have with heavy metal music/ Yes, there is talent, but why would any sane person subject themselves to such depraved viciousness.
I am not naïve, far from it, but I feel no need to keep reviewing the nasty side of the world. I certainly do not find it enjoyable to watch, anymore than I would enjoy watching a gang rape or a dog being tortured.
Keep your mind where it should be, on jot, wisdom and light. It u so easy to lose yourself in the dark, If you are truly enjoying the dementia found in so much of our current media, maybe you should rake a close look at yourself and consider some therapy.

Times Change
The death of Tom Petty brought to mind the fact that forms of entertainment change. When younger, like most, I listened to a lot of rock. I have not done that in years and sometimes wondered why. I just found it dill and insipid.
It jot me when Petty died that art for,s. like people, art forms die. Rock is truly dead. The current pop music is no substitute and country is just warmed over classic rock. I love jazz, but I am an anomaly.
In a way, this is kind of cool. What wil come next? Some hybrid of old forms or a totally new thing. I vannot wait to see.

Tom Petty
Let me see. In about a year, we have lost Merle Haggard, Leon Russell, Leonard Cohen, Walter Becker, Greg Allman and now, Tom Petty. Too, too sad.
Petty and Springsteen were the last rye rockers. Now Petty is gone.
He was a Southern boy who grew up in the 59s and 60s and had the edge that era carried but he also had that Southern ornery attitude that was lacking in many bands if the 60s.
His music was always evolving, but you always knew it was him when one of his songs showed up on the radio.
RIP
