THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND

I'm discovering that even though I'm getting as old as Methuselah, in some ways I'm just a 'babe in the woods'.
There are things around me that I just don't understand.
here are some of them:

DJs

What the fuck is this all about? This modern phenomenon of people who select and spin records (badly) at dances and social gatherings and go by weird nicknames who become 'stars' and release collections of their 'hits' are idolised and get paid huge amounts of money.

Supermodels.

Anorexic skanks who don underwear and prance about in high heels get labelled 'supermodel' and get paid ridiculous amounts of money. They get drunk, drugged up and behave badly but still seem to be role models for generations of impressionable young people.

Women.

Overpaid TV and Film actors.

Especially those from USA. They are the new 'aristocracy. They also get drunk, drugged up and behave badly but still seem to be role models for generations of impressionable young people. In the UK (or what used to happen before the lure of big bucks in USA) acting was a profession with journeymen actors (from the ordinary to the sublime) got paid wages. If they were good they bought their own house and a car. They didn't buy six or seven mansions around the world, own private jets and have million dollar parties.

Social Media

OK, I blog but I'm bewildered by all of the platforms that other people (mostly young people) communicate daily hourly by the minute with friends family associates and 'friends' (those thousands of strangers who link to them).

Pike River body retrieval

Why can't the 'powers that be' just let the family members go in and retrieve the bodies.
Make them sign waivers that they do so at their own risk with no call back if they have an accident or indeed don't come out.

This is just the start but I have to go and cook my tea.
