John Duhan - The Waste Land of Modern Culture



Johnny Duhan's take on modern culture or (Modern Heresies) was brought to my attention by another member of our group and his in-depth knowledge on poetry or literature is way above my pay grade. He has other videos out there on social media and such, on both The Beatles and James Joyce and others but his essay on Bob Dylan seems to have disappeared off Youtube. Agree or disagree, following on from Spoken Verse and his reading of The Wasteland you'll be entertained and perhaps a little more curious as to why modern poetry or literature is where it is. The easy response being, well it had to go somewhere, and perhaps so, but out in the wasteland somebody is probably asking the  "last" question. Or should that be word. Look it up! With thanks to Johnny Duhan for loading and the old share button on youtube. The above is well worth a listen.
