Cruel To Be Kind (In The Right Measure)

"Think about what happened in this moment, because it’s not something you’ll see too often in entertainment.

Hip people don’t like country music. They don’t like the performers or the fans unless a performer alienates its fans by saying something hip, like the Dixie Chicks. Hip people don’t like innocence unless it’s portrayed in some sort of ironic way, like a vixen in a school girl uniform, or a young child with a knife behind its back. Hip people do like controversy and people who push the envelope, which is why they liked the 'wardrobe malfunction' at the Super Bowl. They loved the idea that a bunch of heartland families recoiled in shock as something traditionally innocent like the Super Bowl was invaded by hipness."


-- Dallas Jenkins, exposing the cynicism that rules the roost - that would be OUR LIVES - while being portrayed as a good thing, everywhere, but at Big Hollywood.
