Who is the honest broker? His name is Ted Gioia. Click on his name for his website, or go HERE for his full bio. This is the sum-up:
Ted Gioia is a cultural critic, music historian, record producer, and jazz pianist. He has published 12 books, translated into 9 languages, and is author of the popular Substack newsletter The Honest Broker.
That first little bit there (cultural critic) is why I think you should care.
I don't know if you're a substack reader or not. I follow a few people, and though I don't really want to, I will likely be opening mine up to the public one of these days (why can't we all just blog again?). But if you want to KNOW stuff... you should read Ted's The Honest Broker (not to be confused with someone else who also has a substack by the same name). You can get the app or just insert your email on the link right back there.
Or, let's say you don't want to do that... then at least check out these two posts by Ted:
I almost guarantee both will raise your blood pressure and/or send you into a state of depression (well, maybe not, but you've been warned). Lemme just drop this sample slide in here from The State of the Culture:
Yeah, we are all addicts, or slowly making our way there. What's happening ain't pretty. THAT is really why you should care.
So, now you know all that.
You're welcome. :)
