lyrics

‘ENTOPROP’

A paranoid man is a man who knows a little about what’s going on.
Nasty moments surfin’ liquid time.
The binary word is...sliding…

Call it Outside Influence. Call it Necessary Illusions. Call it Entertainment Propaganda...the so-called ‘Entoprop’.

An Example: During the summer of 2001, Disney & Jerry Bruckheimer released Michael Bay’s blockbuster Pearl Harbor.
Sixtieth anniversary you know.
Nationalistic cash-in, see.

It had an obligatory Faith Hill soundtrack for the bumper sticker patriots and the studios paid for a biiig media push. 140 million dollars is a serious investment right? So let’s have the whole t-shirt culture package...Pearl Harbor documentaries round the clock and constant airings of Tora, Tora, Tora with non-stop trailers for Bay’s blockbuster during the commercials.
Sixtieth anniversary you know.
Nationalistic cash-in, see.

Of course all this had a dual effect. Not only did it keep Pearl Harbor the movie in mind, ostensibly the purpose of the hype, but it also kept Pearl Harbor the actual historical event bobbing on the surface of the collective unconscious. And what was it those fine minds at the Project for a New American Century had said?

“...the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor—”

And on 9-11…after the towers came down…all the talking heads with their ‘only natural comparisons’ to Pearl Harbor lucky it was already in everyone’s mind...right?
