Today on the radio someone was talking about a piece of music inspired by the Roman circuses and shows near the fall of Rome. The colloseum and other such arenas were the home of blood sports, galatiator matches, etc. for the Roman's entertainment. It was pointed out on what I was listening too, that we too are a society devoted to entertainment and that violent shows and reality tv, perhaps our new form of blood sports, are the most popular shows on hundreds of channels. It worries me to think about what was implied in this.
