Pat Dollard | Young Americans

This is why.

I happen to think that, while we CAN live without the product, life would be so much more boring without the entertainment industry. Some of my, and I suspect your, fondest memories from childhood and even adulthood are movie or TV show experiences … a favorite song or two that causes a sudden rush of blood to our brain in memory of where we were, who we were with and what we were doing when THAT song comes flowing across the radio airwaves.

Here’s the thing …

The entertainment industry is one of our most unique manmade creations. Unlike farming, textile, energy, steel, medicine, and transportation vehicles manufacturing … yes, we can live without Hollywood’s finished product. But I wouldn’t necessarily want to. I mean, I have my favorites … and growing up in a less than “Cleaver or Brady” household, TV was a MAJOR mental escape for me. The stages of my life are highlighted with background music that you can see on display when LBA and I play Music Video Volleyball on Deep Thoughts (usually on the weekend nights … LATE).

I get so pissed at Hollywood. Of all the industries this wonderful country has developed and given to the world, our entertainment industry is one specifically designed to give us escape and enjoyment … and to feed our amazing imaginations. Now it is just some slime smearing slug that only cares about it’s own trail of opinion and disregards the thoughts and opinions of the majority in this country.

So, while I, and as I know you, most times anymore feel like EMP-ing Hollywood, in my ‘creative’ heart I feel as if I really want to treat it like the “Prodigal Son” … in hopes it might return home someday to us completely humbled by its mistakes and arrogance.

Oh, I know … when Hell freezes over. But, perhaps, men such as Jon Voight, Pat Dollard, Andrew Breitbart, and all those [closeted] conservative actors/producers/directors/writers will be able to have their own “Lutheran” revolution and break away from the flesh-consuming, masturbating political monster Hollywood has become … and return us to Tara and Oz and those “Hills” that are “alive with the Sound Of Music”.

So, while I CAN live without Hollywood’s product … I really don’t want to. I just want a bigger and better “variety” to choose from with my capitalistic dollars. Hollywood can act as socialistic as it wants, but I don’t see any of these up-turned-nose-types living in shacks and rags, and handing out their millions from their latest movie contracts.

I want Hollywood to return to being this country’s girlfriend that occasionally slips-up and strays, but always comes back … not this lop-sided, disease-inflicted, self-righteous and smug political crack whore it has become.

I want Hollywood to think past the spiteful noses on its face and see how their ideology effects the rest of the world when implemented … and I want them to acknowledge and learn from their errors … (See; Box Office Bombs)
