I’m sure you’re incorrect about the aughts being better than the 1990s. The ’90s were annoying as hell, but at least they were genuine in their disingenuousness. The ’00s seemed like a nervous pantomime. Certainly no one actually enjoyed themselves.

There is no 2000s, really. History has already ended. Francis Fukayama made his prediction too early and was completely off-base as to the true nature of the finale.

But yeah, the 2000s were a drag.

I rather think it’s been a great decade for music. I could go as far as to say better than the 90’s.

Very interesting thoughts. Going through some stimulating chaos recently, I keep going back to Joseph Campbell’s words. It goes like this:

«If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.
Wherever you are, if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time.»

Following your bliss takes courage and determination. As I have read many of your posts, you seem to be spot on and congruous with this belief.

Go ahead: enjoy single malt (I quite like it myself) and everything else in life that matters. Really.
