    <body><![CDATA[Adorno suggests that people like that they're able (ie. rich enough) to go to the symphony more than they like going to the symphony.  I don't know if that's right, but I like that he's cranky enough to say it.<br/><br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of my favorite books. Adorno is still relevant! In this book he critiques the leisure class, celebrity and the industry that has co-opted what is now contemporary culture.]]></body>
