Well, at least this time around, we don't also have an agricultural collapse due to a massive multistate dustbowl.

Yet. How's the water situation, again?

We can't call our women "tomatoes" because the Kaiser stole that word.

Well yeah, obviously music'll get better, as will most of the other performing arts, they usually do when the economy goes tits-up.

I can hardly wait until they bring back those great dance musicals, preferably in black and white.

Who's the next Fred and Ginger?

And don't forget the Marx Brothers and the Stooges.

Yup, REM sang it... it's definately from "monster" and i'm pretty sure it's from the song "crush with eyeliner"

the greatest duke tunes came from 26-35 so maybe theres something to this.

That wasn't really the focus of the article, but...

There's already a ridiculous amount of great music out there. It's just that your average, everyday dumbass doesn't like it.

Help, this crazy tomato's a-rapin' me!
