In a half-awake daze, I glanced at the listings in Time Out. Sure enough: Whitney Houston's in the Top 10, Michael Jackson is the nation's top box-office drawer, and Fleetwood Mac are touring. I think I know what's happening here. As a new Conservative regime hurtles towards us, in an act of collective self-hating fatalism, we've looped back to 1983. In the most dismal way imaginable, history is repeating itself. We're stuck in a moment we can't get out of.
