30 years from now people will be asking - what the fuck happened to America with Rogan. A guy whose customer base is overwhelmingly young men and who have the least amount of education and interests in critical thinking but are looking for a guru. I suppose Rogan is as harmless as other so called gurus over the years but to assume that he is some kind of king maker or portal into a future American reality is a definition of insanity and un-seriousness .
I think we have pretty different ideas about Rogan’s appeal. To me, Rogan isn’t a guru or anything like that. Basically, he’s a really great interviewer - a successor to Howard Stern. It’s a form of entertainment that’s about mimicking regular conversation as much as possible - guys sitting around a bar, a poker table, that kind of thing. People talk about whatever it is they find really interesting - whether that’s aliens or drug trips or whatever - and there are no time limits, none of the constraints of the usual media channels. It feels like a good conversation every time, and that has an immense appeal.
I detest Joe Rogan, but then I am a gay guy who has little use for bros, especially when they're as credulous as Rogan. I have limited my exposure to Rogan, but what I have heard puts me right back among the slackers and stoners at my fraternity in the mid-70s. Their interests ranged all the way from baseball to beer. Every night was a party fueled by weed and booze where the objective was to crack each other up. No thanks.
