Society’s value are really f***ed! The media was filled ad nauseum with nostalgia about Yves St. Laurent when he passed away the other day, but Bo Diddley? Pretty much nothing, nothing, nothing…
Ridiculous, pathetic, pitiful and lamentable!
May his music live forever in our hearts, minds, hard disks and flashcards…

Word, Steve! Was I pissed! In two newspapers I read, Yves was all mover the front page and the Culture Page(?!!!puke). And Bo Diddley was buried in general news shorts. Screw the “cultural world.”
