...titles of the publications bear an affinity to Dadaism. The 1910s and '20s saw the creation of Dead Serious, Dada and Cloudpump; in the 1970s and '80s we have Impulse, Slash, Damage and Fetish. The element of satiric humor remains: Dada's contents included, "Painting, Sculpture, Drawings...and Vulgar Dillentantism"; Fetish proclaims itself "The Magazine of the Material World...
...most vulgar and least creative level, this preoccupation has surfaced in a slew of war-fever songs, spearheaded by Charlie Daniels' trigger-happy redneck anthem, "In America," and including "Bomb Iran"--a remake of the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann" that made the rounds of local radio stations last spring.

They have knocked a hole in the wall, climbed outside their totalistic system and marched angrily around it demanding things. That is very embarrassing. It is also, communistically speaking, impossible. It is a little like the old Second City comedy routine in which Ahab thunderously demands, "Hast seen the white whale?" and the other ship's captain calls back, "Yeah. We killed him yesterday."
