I can remember as a boy of 13 or 14 watching the "J Geils Band" on the TV show "In Concert" singing a song "First I look at the Purse" (that must have been around '72 or '73 and thinking: this is different,,,these guys are celebrating greed and money. I was thinking about that this morning as I listened to a "classical rock" station's DJ bash Arabs and the "bleeding hearts" who were concerned with the treatment of the prisoners in Guantanomo.
I thought PT Andersen't movie "Boogie Nights" did an excellent job of examining how the "me generation" 70s turned into the greed and consumerism of the late 20th century.
