Form, precision, structure, attention to correct standards for melodic design and development can not be forged. By comparison, contemporary rock is artistically false, imprecise, atonal, interpretive, irregular, mediocre. More often than not, rock 'artists' and their enthusiasts ignore standards and distort melody, design, and harmonic structure to the point where it is no longer music. Inferior art can always be produced in a studio, then promoted by an industry that is only interested in the quantity of CD's sold, not the quality or performance. In the end, the music is still bad.
Modern liberalism is a lot like contemporary rock.
Lies, broken rules and rotted policies are marketed to an ignorant electorate as a Bill of Goods, and they eagerly buy until the lies go Platinum. Standards and values that have sustained civilization have been reinterpreted, repackaged and marketed as bad. It's not surprising that the public believes the lies liberal tell, for in politics ignorance will always prevail unless we stand behind the traditions and morals that made our country great. The burden is on us to maintain the Reagan paradigm. Conservatism can not fake itself into the inferiority of liberalism.
