Great piece. The only thing I disagreed with was his take on music in the 70's. It was the last great music decade.

Communism was (and is) one of the worst evils the world has ever seen. In retrospect, no, I don't think any of it seems childish or ridiculous. With that said, great piece.

What a good piece. Maybe it's because we were young in the '60s and '70s, and I know therefore I thought (maybe subliminally) that things would just work themselves out by the time 2012 rolled around: Ali would kayo Stevensen and some other artist would take the public's fancy away from Nieman (how different Nieman's art was from the paintings of boxers that came out of the Depession--northing glitzy or glamorous about those figures--just hard times and pain). I never could have imagined Kinkaid, or Mike Tyson, for that matter. The problems and puzzles of the '60s and '70s did work themselves out, all right; but who would have imagined that we would be left with still more difficult things to resolve.

Times change, but no matter how you cut it, underneath it all sport remains just a distraction from the real meaning of life.

The more of this guy you read and especially when politics are involved , you wonder if he would have "known our enemy" during the cold war
