[andie nachgeborenen]

He's OK. Elvis C has been doing good stuff too. So has
Bob D. But my point is not that there's no one good,
or even that there's no one new that's good, but that
we aren't getting the quantity, intensity, and density
of first class work that we once did; this is a
qualitative, unscientific judgment, but such judgments
are not meaningless. There have been Golden Ages --
and aftermaths.
