I did? Even though, what I said in response to him was "The gist of what you say here is (that) Music and pop culture in general do certainly reflect back on us and who "we are" as a whole... ?

Everett is connecting who we are as a culture with the art that our culture reflects back. That is the gist of what he says. All the particulars, all the details are just his particular slant, based on the life he's led, and who he is.

Same for you. You see things the way you do because of who you are and the life you've led.

I was commenting on the gist of what he said, not his particulars. We've all got slants toward life. Biases. I don't let them upset me, it's just the way things are. If everyone was like you, or me , or Everett, the World would be a truly boring place to be.
