And also what you think of this irresponsiblity in contemporary art as it pertains specifically to the art of music today, including rock. Or more generally, whether RockNRoll even attains to "responsible" art (is this term synonymous with "serious" art??). Or maybe all this is even more generally to ask: what was the responsibility that has now vanished completely, and is it something the race should strive to recapture? Or does all this have anything to do with our fundamental existentiality? A basic core change in its manifestations (or are existential states manifestly immutable)? And does it in any advert way relate consequentially to Nietzsche's statement that there can be no religious art? That art has been virally ruined by the influence of religion's darkening rejunglizing superstitions? pick'm over. i'd ask jeeves but he's a known prevaricator (ergo a hard-core anti-hegelian analytic).
