You are right, the larger a pop phenomenon gets, the more it becomes bastardized. The irony is that I always wanted it to become POP CULTURE again, that is why I waited so long for the right publisher to come along. And it worked, and I am happy it did. But right now, it has become a little too much POP, and not enough CULTURE. I am working on balancing that out in the future. I think that this last Oasis was a good example of how BOTH can co-exist. The were many fresh converts on a less clued-in level, but just as many who knew the why and wherefores, and both got a lot out of the event. It was nice.
