"It’s mercantile, and literal, no longer a land of dreams, just another playground for the 21st century’s global rich. And with Mike gone, there’s one fewer person to find the glory in subtext, the code that is buried deep in American life, at that intersection where lust, nervousness, ambition, and comedy all meet. He ran that intersection for decades." All true but so very pessimistic. I think Mike would have laughed but he had the talent to turn the truth on end. I guess I have to believe someone else will do the same.
