For a long time the number 1 song in the USA was "Choosin Texas" by Ella Langley.

I have no idea who that is and I've never heard the song.

Is that the type of "culture" that this statement is referring to?

> As long as you don’t have a common culture and a common understanding of the basic rules that everyone agrees on, no one can spend time with each other comfortably.

Doesn't seem so to me.

Shared music is absolutely part of common culture


That wasn't the question.

"common understanding of the basic rules that everyone agrees on"

I would have thought that storming the Capitol, beating and killing police officers was Not Acceptable, but apparently I was wrong.

There are many such examples. We do not agree on the basic rules any more.


"common understanding of the basic rules"

Vaccines are good.

See, not everyone agrees.
