Think about everything we consider to be the epitome of culture: mozart, shakespeare, the Sistine chapel? the classics what people now of days believe to be the best of humanity.
But wasnt the best of humanity intially ment for the ignorant and illiterate masses. Shakespeare was shown at the globe and thousands of illeterate peasants watched and laughed and cried. mozart would but on these tremendous concerts but that was the music of the day...so then it seems logical to presume that Brittney Spears and Dave Eggers will be the pinnacle of art a few hundred years from now....wow that sucks.

No, cause Shakespeare actually had something to say about our surroundings... in a very Soapy way. He also developed the stuff from his own mind... as far as we know. I think think the closest thing we have to Shakespeare is Apatow and crew.
But Britney does show the cooch.
You leave my girl Britney alone!
Just calling it how I see it. I'm sure Britney will figure things out eventually and do whatever it is she needs to do.
But what do I care... she has a house by the beach in Malibu.
No no, I was telling Capitol to leave Britney alone. She has alot to offer, such as- her cooch.
I attack brit brit because in 500 years she will be legendary!!!!
I'm more afraid that she's breading the next Paris and Nicole or that is Mickey and Mallory Knox.
And yet Tolstoy would take your argument a step further. He would say that art isn't intended simply for the masses - performing a play at the Globe does not in and of itself make it a work of art that benefits all rungs of society. Rather, that in order for something to be called art - be it Shakespeare, Mozart, or the Sistine Chapel - it had to have the purpose of unifying and promoting what he called "the brotherhood of Christianity." In other words, it took some guts for Brit to show the cooch after two kids . . . seriously.
