Penni -- Had to respond:

<<Motown musical garbage assault>> Unfair to compare Motown (which some of us enjoy immensely) to Beethoven's greatest (and IMO music's most impressive) work. Different arts with different motives; don't have to down one to lift the other.

<<I thought this was insulting to the Olympics, to Japan and to us.>>

So, what's new about taht?

<<Perhaps we have lost the ability for spiritual elevation?>>

Perhaps some of us never had such a capability? Seems to me that many people don't have the ability to appreciate the finer things that culture has to offer, and that "finer" has vastly different connotations, depending on the circumstances of one's existence?

Maybe there are reasons for "elitism" to exist...

BTW, can you imagine how many people in the US and around the world feel exactly as you do? Bet CBS is feeling awfully sheepish about the situation. Bet they have a web page or two, too.
