The late Andrew Breitbart is credited with the observation, “All politics is downstream from culture.” Wanting to create a podcast that dealt with something other than the news of the day, my partner-in-crime, Hollywood veteran Loy Edge, and I have launched “Upstream,” a podcast dedicated to exploring the cultural source of today’s political issues.
As a year-ender, Loy and I will award the first annual “Upstream MVP,” the recognition of that person who contributed most to the advancement of American culture in the otherwise misbegotten Biden era. Below are my 10 nominees in a preliminary ranked order. I have not conferred with Loy yet, and I am sure I am overlooking or underestimating someone, so all input is welcome. We will make the final announcement before year’s end. Stay tuned.
