Actually, the (disgusting) quote from MONOPOLY CAPITAL was by both Baran 
_and_ Sweezy. Though as co-author of that book, Sweezy can't be totally

CB: Don't you think that as a genre, rock'n'roll is a failure , like the Soviet Union, 
and hoola hoops ?  Isn't rock'n'roll a sort of dystopia ?

Didn't it just come out that the CIA WAS promoting modern art with an anti-communist 
political aim ?
