Day of the Locust

I think have to start writing more of these, so... yeah.

As always I look for things in our class that relates to our world. In my edition of the book the introduction written by Alfred Kazin it says "Hollywood in the 1980s is not the glamour capital and dream factory that once excited millions of Americans as the most magical and improbable plae on earth." Well I don't know about that it seems to me that if this book is at all accurate Hollywood hasn't changed much. The movies are different, sure, but scandals and all that crap hasn't changer.

In the book they do things like visit whorehouses and today we have celebrities hitting people with their cars and danglng babies over ledges. It even seems to have gotten worse, but that might be because the media has more access to those kind of secrets. Either way the distate West had for the whole California lifestyle is still around - just listen to "Aenema" by Tool or watch anyTV show set out there on the east cost.
