just bumped into this blogger... really interesting piece about the creation of music/celebrity culture and how it intersected with CIA and MI6 etc covert operations... stuff I'd heard about but giving a lot of details about all the "spooky" connections, and it's not just hippy psychedelic stuff even punk and new wave and now hiphop music, the latter especially connected to private prisons, this culture of "bad boy" stuff, instantly brings up all this memories of these popular songs that celebrate shit like abusive psychotic boyfriends and how all this dovetails in with the promotion of cults and proliferation of cults that is reaching a form of almost high art with social networks
very good read, anyhow, recommended...
of course i've always loved the stuff that was against that shit in a fundamental way, but i saw the coopting process unfolding notably in the late 90s with psychedelic rave culture in australia, the coming of the vegan, love and light crowd, snuffing out the rebellion, and most of the artists i have loved over the years are ones that their entire central point was to promote questioning the story and pointing out all the spooky connections, from suicidal tendencies to public enemy and ice cube and dead kennedys and david thrussel's many projects exposing covert operations and conspiracies from the military industrial complex, combichrist, muse... the list is pretty long... artists who turn the spotlight back on the people behind the curtain
