Hello Rene,

When you get some time, a little expansion on Hegel's reasoning toward this
would be welcome. 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).

Regards,

kenneth
