This reconceptualisation of art as content is one of the great cultural disasters of our era.

#CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes does some great #SocialCommentary in its #comedy. Like the sketch they apparently posted about the #murder of #AlexPretti that likely talks about #police #surveillance leading to #ExtraJudicial #execution.
But I don't know. They only post it to #Youtube.
Number 15 for my #20FaveVideos is by a musician who always felt like a father figure to me, the great #davidbowie . If I had my way, this whole list would be exclusively his videos.
In this scene, Bowie is walking down a New York City street (he was irl living there with this wife Iman before he passed away). He’s looking at the paper and notices a very sinister-looking Trent Reznor of #nineinchnails standing behind him. Bowie takes off running. Trent runs after him a bit, but lets Bowie escape.
“Johnny’s an American,” Bowie murmurs. Soon everyone around him seems to be violently arguing with each other, making the finger gun gesture, and Bowie now gets paranoid. He ducks into a taxi to escape the scene, starts laughing to himself, and talks to the cabbie about how “Johnny’s an American.” But it’s Johnny (Trent Reznor) behind the wheel! Oh no! And Bowie’s trapped in the car with him! Will Johnny kill him?! Johnny gets out of the car, as does Bowie, cowering for his life on the street in sheer terror. Johnny is holding an imaginary air machine gun, and fires off several rounds into the taxi, filling it with holes. But Bowie looks around, and he’s fine. The taxi is empty and has no holes in it. Is he going mad?! Then he realizes “God is an American,” and a strange procession of goth-dressed characters come parading down the dark city street, with Johnny (Trent Reznor) carrying a heavy cross the way Jesus did before his crucifixion.
The more I watch this, the more I see this video as a prophesy, of the unholy matrimony of violence, religion and jingoism that has been simmering under the froth of American culture and politics for decades. He meant this piece as a commentary on America’s “mass culture” and worldwide corporatism creeping into every country and swallowing up every culture in the world, but it takes on an even more sinister meaning when viewed through a lens of the growing threat of U.S. Christian Nationalism. If David Bowie were alive today, he wouldn’t be keeping his mouth shut like the rest of music royalty are doing now. He would be out there in full force. He was that kind of human, and he loved living in New York City.
“I’m Afraid of Americans” by David Bowie, featuring Trent Reznor (1995)
*Note! Trent Reznor co-produced the song. His touches are all over the place.

Post 5/7 The Billionaire’s Loneliness: Sentiment in these citations is increasingly somber. 🏰👤 Just as Kane died alone in a palace full of statues, the media is portraying today’s titans (Musk, Trump, Bezos) as figures who have "accumulated everything and kept nothing." The sentiment isn't just critical; it’s a warning about the "hollow fame" that comes with treating the world as a personal art collection. #WealthGap #ElonMusk #SocialCommentary
