I don't think Malstrom was really commenting on the actual value of the works produced in the pursuit of "Culture" as much as he was talking about the elitest posers who espouse its virtues ... There are tons of people in the world who (like me) enjoy going to art galleries, plays or concerts because we enjoy the experience and don't see this as being a more important than television, movies or a sporting event and I don't think that Malstrom was refering to these people. At the same time, there are people who go to these events and talk about how unfortunate it is that something like American Idol is so popular when it doesn't have the value of the play (which could be a puppet-show with full frontal puppet nudity).
