The times, they are a-changin’
“This story begins as another is ending. The first story is full of optimism and exalted ideas about humanity’s ability to change through political action and moral argument. The next story, the plot we’re living right now, is defined by cynicism, sarcasm, and self-involvement raised to art. The turning point was the early ’70s.”
- Nelson George, “Hip Hop America”, 1999.
