Voice of the Future ?

On the radio that I listen to here in Vallarta, they keep playing a clip with an obviuosly American rock musician, addressing his, I asume, adoring fans.
I don't know man, he yells, I don't know, but I want my fun before this shithouse burns man,
ya dig !
And they scream
And I cringe
This is what it has come to.
After building the pyramids to discovering galaxies and finding that the earth is round and sending men to the moon, this is what we end up with.
A barely literate guitar playing mouth piece for hedonistic pleasures.
With access to thousands and maybe millions of young people.
This is our future ?
If this is it, I want to get off.
