1) Well, if I did not, would I stick with them?
2) I might write an article on this. Yes and no. Yes, because modern society places it in places where it does not belong; no, because it is addictive and thus a formidable force in human life - like drugs and all addictions.
3) It always does. When John Lennon returned his OBE in the mid-sixties - a time we rightly regard as a golden age of popular music - he was complaining not only about Vietnam and Harold Wilson's policies, but also about the presence of a now-forgotten hack among the best-sellers. Last I looked, though, I thought that the worst influence was the power of discos, in which thousands of doped teen-agers drive themselves to dance for hours to sounds - rather than music - supplied by dj's who play around with discs as if content did not matter. Clearly, anything with an electronic drum in it will do for such a market.
4) Only alcohol. And the last time I was drunk was in 1987.
5) Oddly enough, in asking too much. There is an assumption that unless you not only marry for love but stay in love all your life - which is possible, but not universal - your marriage is a failure and you had better stop and try again. Our ancestors knew that marriage was something you had to live with - so your wife is a nag or a slattern? Well, that's the way it goes. So your husband's been sleeping with his secretary? Well, men are like that. They did not ask for perfection from a relationship, whereas we do.
6) Well, who does the rating?
