<<<Let's not kid ourselves: the ascendance of "American Idol," and its
turning of music into sports, signals the end of American popular song as we
know it. Its ritual slaughter of songs allows no message to be carried, no
wisdom to be communicated, other than the screamed and belted song of the
self.>>>
I recently spoke with an architect about how "Home Makeover" is ruining his
profession by making the masses think that anyone can do it, and do it
really really really quick...
And of course, Fear Factor, the Bachelor/ette, and all the others are
ruining just about everything else!
