Quite true what he says all of 40+ years ago. Thank God he didn't live to see what we have today: "Intellectuals" who haven't read a book since university days; "musicians" who can't tell you what key they're playing in; journalists (no need here for sneer quotes) who don't know who Mencken was. We are doomed.

Not everything he says here is wrong, in fact the majority is bloody right. Some of the commenters seem slightly insecure. Whilst he is generalising, you only have to look around to see fickle youth spurting cliche after cliche. I'm 21 and have been frustrated with my age group since early teen-hood.

He communicates his point well. I think he is promoting a theme to think for yourself and don't blindly accept 'off the shelf' or pre-packaged answers without review.

Personally, I think he nails it on the head here...
But bear in mind, the persona of "Anthony Burgess" was one of pompous erudition and, allegedly, not at all like the real John Wilson.

@xwsftassell In his later years he actually denounced his famous novel.
yes! finally a sensible comment
this little bit of speaking hit me like a ton of bricks when i first it
i love the beatles and pop music, but there is another side of the coin
a side which burgess saw very clearly.
