He says among other things: "Like Madonna, Britney Spears, Michael Savage or other edge-masters after him, Newton excels in the competition for attention. He toys with images associated with good and evil, repression and liberation. But he doesn't actually have any ideas about such things. He and the edginess phenomenon as a whole remind us that of all the human traits that shape culture and history, the most underappreciated is the power of vacuousness."
