Wrestling with art
I greatly enjoyed the interview with John Molyneux ahead of the publication of his new book The Dialectics of Art (November SR). However, I was taken aback by his contention that ‘on average, high culture is higher in quality than most popular culture’, using examples such as professional wrestling to make his point.
I have been a professional wrestling fan for over thirty years, and I am a socialist. I was one before I was the other, but see no contradiction between the two.
