We Love Them (Sanjaya et al.) BECAUSE They Have No Talent
Cosmo Landesman:
It was Susan Sontag who said that being a dandy was a way of being an individual in an age of mass culture. The problem today is how to be an individual in an age of mass individualism, when the usual means of status - clothes, cars, consumer goods - are within the grasp of a majority of the population, at least in the west. The answer is: celebrity. You want celebrity culture to die? Kill capitalism first and then we'll talk.
Hmmm... could we kill Sanjaya in the meantime?
