You're right about all the first stuff you mention, even with your improved
spelling. As for the later stuff, the pop tv stuff, I know nothing of it.
I have pop culture aphasia. My life is a hermetic studio, a great wife,
great music and the symphony on Fridays, great books stacked everywhere,
wonderful kids and grandkids. Almost everything else is blank. This is not
new. I was always very uncool when it came to being aware of popular
culture. It doesn't exist for me. Wait! I have heard of Sarah Palin. Now
there's a cartoon for ya.
