I think it's good to mix in personal info, but I strongly suggest that you find a way to weave your own personal narrative into the political stuff you're doing. <BR/><BR/>That is, you were visiting the land of ARTIFICIAL REALITY created by evil corporations for the purposes of anesthetizing the masses: what does that mean in terms of how art, politics, culture, daily American life, etc, are warped and twisted by corporate power? It sounds like you were caught up in all the hype. Actually, I probably would have been, too--I mean that's where I'm headed after I've gotten my MFA in acting. But the deal is that you've got to notice how such strong forces affect even you, a left-wing hippie weirdo like me. <BR/><BR/>IMHO, that makes for good blogging: how does your own personal experience connect with what's happening in the Grand Scheme? How are you, personally, being repressed by elitist power? It is not at all silly to record the method by which plastic corporate pop culture infests one's own brain and life--if that's not repression, I don't know what is.<BR/><BR/>I know this, of course, because I'm a Madonna fan from way back.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13926407749563737116noreply@blogger.com
