I think I agree with Mike: this is some damned fine Lileks right here. More so than usual, and that's saying something.
Remember when "sincerity" was an admirable thing? When we didn't automatically assume it was a veneer over some malignant and contemptible vileness from a stupid age in the dim past? When irony and "subversiveness" were appreciated in small doses, but not presumed to be the highest possible form of art and culture?
Remember when a concept like the "Great Pumpkin" could have been written new, and people found it comprehensible?
At least somebody does.
