If you can’t appreciate american culture i don’t know what to tell you. Posted by lester on Oct 27, 2007." lester is confusing culture with fashion, well apart from "Citizen Kane", a work of genius but unfortunately not 'commercial' therefore no calling card for Orson Welles. Why jackson pollock? why elvis? why jeans? why coca-cola? why do hemlines rise and fall? what of it? Creators of great art are geniuses. The common herd is far too stupid to listen, buy, watch, appreciate any product of genius; the're just a money making opportunity to be sold the latest new thing - who cares where they spend it? - but don't call it culture without the 'trash', and don't confuse nostalgia with merit.
