Those of us on the list who do any of these things would know: 1. watch the national news broadcasts in the US 2. watch any cable news outlet 3. listen to non-right-wing talk radio 4. read political blogs I do all of those but #2, and I'm sick of the Imus thing. What's your point, Phil? I really don't agree with Andrew at all that Finale listers are that isolated from the rest of the world, or that specialized in their use of the Internet. You don't have to read blogs to have encountered coverage of either of these subjects. In fact, ABC Nightly News did a brief report on the Joshua Bell incident, so even "normal" people who only watch the news might have a chance to have heard about it. -- David W.
