Phil, & All,
Loved your comparisons!!! :o)
It brought to mind long hair & music here in Utah ???
In 75 the rednecks were beating us long hairs up
& cutting our long hair off with sheep shears !!! really !!
Making fun of Rock & Roll.....
Then, as time progressed, Country music started sounding like old Rock & Roll,
Country types Grew their Hair Long???
The book Future Think sez: That the middle is informed  & changed by the extremes !!!
Hold on to yer Hinney Folks, were in for a Fun Ride !!!! :o)
best,
John C...
SLC, UT
