Something deep about Russia 19th & 20th C. My favourite musical genre. Like for instance the Russian five, Shostakovich, Penderecki, Mussorgsky.

Leninism.. will we ever get that back ? Great everything. Technology killed the dream. Everything is so cheap and imitated these days and we're polluting the planet with such misguided liberties,our health deteriorating, cheapened existence, inspiration so sparse. When do we go extinct?
