Since the late 19th century, aging has been the normal state of all industrial societies; it is a sustained trend. Societies designed to cater to the needs of aging populations will soon become the accepted political condition of our species. Acknowledging that fact will, at some point, slide so smoothly into the conventional wisdom that future generations may not realize that this is a major new feature of modern life, this is different, this is not what human culture was ever meant to be-and it all started now.

Tell mankind Jehovah reigns; He shall bind the world in chains, So as it shall never slide, And with sacred justice guide. Let the smiling heavens rejoice, Joyful earth exalt her voice; Let the dancing billows roar, Echoes answer from the shore, Fields their flowery mantles shake; All shall in their joy partake; While the wood-musicians sing To the ever-youthful spring. Fill His courts with sacred mirth; Lo! He comes to judge the earth: Justly He the world shall sway, And His truth to men display. View quote

On working at La Passione (1996): Day one, the damage was done. All it was meant to be was one hour of a little boy's dreams. And I had things I wanted to do with the guitar that hadn't been done before. Like, there's one number called "Olive Oil", where I was actually playing slide guitar in the same scale as a saxophone. [...] But then in came millions of executives from America. So in the end, it fell flat on its arse. And it came out the same week that Britpop took off. Blair had just won the election. Oasis. Spice Girls. So something a bit Fellini-ish – about a little boy who loved red cars – went straight over the top. It was like, ‘Well, don't you have a 335 guitar with a Union Jack on it?' View quote

However, anything good in us has been tainted with evil. It touches everything. Without the redeeming power of Christ we cannot halt our own moral slide. View quote

Bonnie Raitt
