"We are the sons of no one, bastards of young" What Replacements Song Are You?
I just found out that Neil Postman died last week. I used to be the P.A. for someone who was getting her PhD in Media Ecology, and so I would accompany her occasionally to lectures and seminars. Neil Postman was the king of that scene, and so I met him a couple of times and was moved to read a few of his books. His book Entertaining Ourselves to Death left a deep impression, and forever changed the way I looked at the news. See ya, NP.
