Direction of pop culture

Hi

In my previous blog I discussed the direction of pop culture. This will go forward with a new wrinkle.

Much of what we consider pop culture is championed by the mass media, Hollywood, TV and athletics. I will concern myself in this writing with the movies and TV. Try to contrast the movie and TV stars of today with the same group during the period of World
War II. During the WW II era, almost every movie star either served, entertained troops or if that was not possible, movies were made showing patriotism. Today you would be hard pressed to find either a movie or TV show that puts America in a good light. The liberal left has poisoned the entertained industry. Again I refer to WW II, Clark Gable volunteered to serve on flights which put him in harms way. He was over the Army Air Corp age limit but he still volunteered. When it came to service the same could be said of Tyrone Power, James Steward, Henry Fonda and many more stars. Some like Lee Marvin earned a Purple Heart for wounds received in combat. Where are the actors of today? You can almost count them on one hand, Gary Sinisi, Chuck Norris and Elvis Pressley served. This is one of the causes of the deterioration of our pop culture. I don't advocate that one must be a veteran in order to be an actor but at least show some caring for the nation where you earn your money. I don't see that today. Gratitude never hurt anyone.

Stay tuned for further discussion on pop culture.

Pray for our heroes.
GOD Bless
