...we can buy pineapples any time of year (and in Manhattan, at any hour of the day or night). You mean there was a time when people didn't have REAL strawberry shortcake at Christmas? President Carter told us all about it; then arch criminal Reagan took the solar panels off the White House and tore down the highway speed limits and said "let's party!" Carter told people the unpleasant truth and Reagan told people what they wanted to hear. The American people chose Reagan. We have no one but ourselves to blame for that. It is always the artists who see this first -- or who should. Many do, but artists generally don't wield the greatest amount of power.
