Re: A World Without Heroes - Cultural Mythmaking, Then and Now
With the postmodern fragmentation of society, there is no mainstream, no collective consciousness anymore.
Colt McCoy has it backwards. Back then, Hollywood studio moguls, record label chiefs, and the like decided who was going to be a star. Now, anyone can be a star for a short while, but few can be a superstar because no one is guarding the gates to keep back everyone else clamoring for attention.
