Yes, Goph, this is all a bit vague. |

Fifty years from now, it won't even be a t-shirt. It won't be any more important than any other election-year book- or film-based partisan statement that comes out every four years.

For the record, I still have a copy of None Dare Call It Treason, the 1964 John Birch-esque rant, which I keep on my stack of bedtime reading. Gotta keep some kitsch in there.
(Not to be confused with None Dare Call It Conspiracy, which outlines a banking-oriented conspiracy theory rather than NDCIT's communist conspiracy.)

Interestingly, there was a revised edition of NDCIT, which argued that glasnost and perestroika were all part of a big hoax. This book was published AFTER the fall of the Berlin Wall! |

I think people will still be talking about Britney Spears 20 years from now. I know she's supposed to be just a flash-in-the-pan, but that's been the high-brow line for almost a decade now, and she never really leaves the public consciousness. She was just on Letterman two nights ago, for chrissake.
Not that she'll necessarily keep up her formal career the way Madonna has, but I think she'll always maintain a healthy share of media coverage, if only as an aging recluse with a much-discussed private life. |
