Nothing, Infinity and You

I love the movie Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and I am aware that they are not the most artistic pieces of work, but they allow me to escape the hum drum of my life and for the approximate 2.5 hours that each run, I'm in a world where I would not mind being. This article is by a gentleman who's avoided watching Star Wars for 30 years! Finally he watches it and he has some interesting comments on it. I totally agree with his assessment of the movie and the impact it had/has to our society. It makes me sad to see the truth of the situation. It makes me sadder to see that true art, very creative art can go by unoticed and unappreciated by our society in lieu of shallowness. Perhaps people nowadays don't want to "think" and just want a drug effect and their addiction is shown in the form of obssessiveness over the story line, characters and their "lives", trivia, etc. Is this the demise of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Picasso, DaVinci, et al, to name a few?  Is the pop culture the new classical era? Something to think about.
