A Salient Reflection of Our Time

Is it possible to avoid the tabloid news stories of celebrities? It is forced into our lives everywhere we look: the evening news is packed with it. Are Newsweek and Time even "news" magazines anymore? Why are we obsessed with people who get paid so much for offering nothing? People used to talk about things that happened in their own lives: travel,conversation,books read, personal accomplishments. Listen to the average conversation at work today: what was seen on TV or read in the tabloid news, actors called by first names, the high speed police chase, the murderer interviewed on the evening TV "newsmagazine". We are already living in "virtual" reality. We talk about what was "seen" and "heard": Not lived. It was extremely important and refreshing to have read Mr. Allman's "Hot Shot". The author artfully mirrors our culture's "amused to death" fascination with "celebrity criminals" whether they star in a popular show or in the penitentiary.
