Who speaks for us? The question is not one of politics per say, but about identifying the voice that resonates across a generation. Morrison and Ellis created a comic book character that was meant to be the living embodiment of a generation. Now in terms of music there is not really one overall artist but it can be said that there is one per genre. Only one Micheal Jackson exists, only one Bob Dylan, etc.
So I say again, who speaks for us? Who is the voice that encompasses the latest generation? I feel like we’ve fallen into comedy in a special way again. The way that a generation grew up around Richard Pryor is the same way a generation grew up around Jon Stewart. I miss Stewart, but I’m not sure he is the voice.
I am not sure who is.
Some Thoughts:
- John Oliver? Yes, please.
