- refurb 5y ago"the cultural agenda" seems to overstate things a bit? Maybe "pop culture agenda?" Or "Hollywood agenda"?
- iancmceachern 5y agoJack Frost and Jerry Garcia are by no means pop, or Hollywood. The bay area has impacted our collective culture in deep, meaningful ways for generations. Not in pop, or Hollywood ways, but in deep, meaningful "a path diverges in the woods" ways.
- refurb 5y agoMost young people today don't even know who Jerry Garcia is. Sometimes when you're really close to something you overestimate how important it is.
- iancmceachern 5y agoTrue, but most certainly feel his impact through the folding of his work into the fabric of modern culture. It's not about knowing who he is, but understanding and appreciating his impact on modern culture. There are countless folks like this, economists, city planners, artists, musicians, they all have shaped the modern world we interact with and experience every day but I cannot name most of them by name. There impact is felt nonetheless. Trust me, I'm not overestimating the importance of Jerry Garcia of Robert Frost. I've read only a handful of Frosts works, and am only a casual dead fan. I'm not close to them any more than any other casual consumer of their work. There are whole documentaries on this stuff, I'm just a guy.
