I didn't come up with dystopian for these schemes, something I read somewhere. However, I agree with that term with regards to these vast social housing projects. And yes, I lived in a similar environment as a kid when we, as a military family, lived on the economy of our host nation.

I have always had a certain fondness for the Art Deco period (even though I'm really more of an Arts & Crafts guy). Thus I like looking at, say, the Chrysler building just as much as looking at period National Socialist or Soviet buildings.

I don't mind liver but I always pass on the onions.
Something I haven't eaten in decades is cow's brains. I liked the stuff when I lived in Germany but it isn't something I've tried since I was a kid. I recall the brain was very soft (d'uh) and melt - in - the - mouth, very nice with melted...
Er, I love spinach. It was onions with me, hated them as a kid and still hate them now.

Guess you're referring to Elvis in your last sentence. However, I'd wager a bet that more people still listen to Elvis Presley past their 20s and 30s than still listen to the Doors or Hendrix nowadays. Morrison, Hendrix, Jones, Joplin, hell, even Sid Vicious are kind of stuck in their eras while...
I sometimes wonder what is so important that folk are continuously on their cell phones. People walking down the street, heads down as they tap away on their phones, folk waiting in lines at the grocery store or the bank, tap tap tapping away. Even when driving their POVs, you'll see some on...
