Very pertinent lyrics — ‘For What It’s Worth’ . . . and that was in 2016, especially your last sentence, for there indeed is ‘the new McCarthy.’ I concur with your use of ‘devolution,’ Jude, because we are seeing it continue, starting February 25, 2022 across the pond from the USA, as well as here in America. If there is any hope, the letter ‘d’ needs to drop off that word ‘devolution.’ Not looking too good about that.

I find your writings to be prolific — poetry, plays, articles, stories. I like what you wrote: “..it's all about the art, not the recognition.” Your ‘art’ is in good hands. ~~ djl

I feel your pain. Although we may be going a bit further back than that if Ed Phillips's assumptions are correct. Still, if you remember, the children of the 1950s sensed something different, resulting in the 1960s. I think all these elated people in the heartland will find that their big city buffoon has nothing but hot air to float on.
