'70s and Structuralism
Time for some more theory! This time, we're digging deeper into Structuralism with the help of some fantastic 70s artists like Queen, Gloria Gaynor, The Sex Pistols, Chic, and more.
This week's episode includes a refresher on Structuralism, a discussion of the state of culture in America during the 70s, and a blow-by-blow application of the theory using some of our favorite songs from the decade. We wrap everything up with a discussion of the nature of thought, the importance of input, and the structures that make up everything in our lives.
Join in, and let us know what you think! -
