I almost wondered if he did it because of your comment. He does read 'em. He probably has these scheduled well in advance but it was quite the coincidence. 😏
Not used to getting a Danke Schoen after accusing someone of insanity. Not sure you are Misanthropic Party material. Is Wayne still alive and crooning?
Las Vegas was built on the insight that there is money to be made fleecing all creatures mesmerized by twirling tassels and rotating lemons. In other words, debased sexuality and debased economics. Since you shouted it, are you suggesting that you playing emo music redeems all this history? (I conceived of this as a needling question originally, but it actually is a serious question.}
To expand on my parenthetical remark: It's hard not to have a low opinion of humanity when you realize that tens of millions got what they wanted in T****. I brought up Celine's novel Journey to the End of the Night in a reply to an earlier reply to a comment of yours. A critic once described this book as the Misanthrope's Bible. Even tho I can only read it in translation, I find it an absolutely astonishing work. Can art redeem all the crawling ugliness in the world? Is there a form of redemption in Celine's work? Can politics redeem us? The misanthrope doubts this. Of course the Christian story is all about redemption, with sacrifice in the name of love the central act. And what is JVL up to? Is he teaching us not to put too much hope in politics? If you can answer all these questions, you will definitely redeem the violent, barbaric, tasteless parts of the history of Las Vegas.

Yes, insanity is contagious. Otherwise A+ on the rest of the comment.
