History came easy, I loved history. The youngsters today seem to detest it. They see themselves superior to the teenage boys that sacrificed their lives so that these ungrateful buggers can have freedom that they'd happily give away to tyrants just so they can look virtuous.

They couldn't care less who Chuck Berry is or who Laurel and Hardy is.

I grew up watching Laurel and Hardy and Harold Llyod

Good lad, they paved the way for the comedy that we all enjoyed since.

You don't need to watch them if you don't want, but be aware of who they are and what they did.

Like Chuck Berry, he influenced the music in the second half of the 20th century more than anyone. He was the poet and probably the sound of rock n roll. He influenced the British invasion of The Beatles and The Stones ect and they influenced the next.

These youngsters these days think they know it all. Is all they know is how to say "I'm anti-facist" "I love dogs and cats" "I'm protecting the environment"

It's all about them taking the praise and giving nothing.
