        <"I do think that it is also up to the older generation to educate the

        Toochis, mah dearie, one can only "educate" the "edu-cable."  

        This couple of generations are dumping so much that is worthwhile and 
that will enhance their lives if they only check it out and give it a chance.

        But, take it from Ole Joe the Classical Music DJ.....the Grandchildren 
of these game/fan-kiddies will see so through their elders that they will 
search out and RE--discover ALL the wonderful and varied music and live and 
celluloid entertainment that they've never known.  And they will berate their 
elders for denying it to them!!

        Final comment on rant--- 
        Can't you see one of these tatooed-and-nose-bangled couples of today, 
snogging in about 40 years in front of the TV (oh, they'll still have those!!!) 
as the "golden oldies" are being hawked for download.  
        "They're playing our song," the couple will giggle.
        And the song will go:
        "Mutha-F***ah, Mutha-F***ah, 
         S**t, S**t, S**t!"

        And their kids will roll their eyes, slip into their rooms and put on 
the earphones and listen to:  "Ludwig V..."

          I agree Jeff.  But I do think that it is also up to the older 
generation to educate the younger one.  I can't tell you how many people older 
than me who don't even know who William Powell or Peter Lorre was.  It's 
ridiculous.

          You saw that the stars of High School Musical were excited to get a 
glimpse of Meryl Streep.  That made me hopeful.

          Maybe there were a few claps, toochis; i should say that i didnt hear 
many.. but that's also the other thing... so many of these younger, new 
hollywood "stars"--and i used that term with tongue planted firmly in cheek-- 
do not even know who the great actors were before them who made hollywood truly 
sparkle. most of these flashes in the pan wont be remembered down the road; i 
guess some will be, though, thanks to the dusty DVD's that will be on store 
shelves or digital clips available for download.

            that's right...he was memorialized last year.... technically, 
incorrect.... but i guess the academy wanted to remind everyone while his 
passing was still fresh... a year later, it would have not have received the 
same audience response that it did at last year's oscars- 


            the other thing i noticed... not ONE clap could be heard when they 
showed charlton heston.


            i was a bit surprised at that, needless to say.

                Did they even show Heath during the memorium segment? I was 
waiting to see the audience reaction and I don't recall they showed him. And he 
did pass away in '08 so he should have been included?

                  That segment really angered me especially since my mentor 
Nina Foch was being honored.

                  Frustrating!

                    All in all I thought it was a good show but what I did not 
like was the segment where they honored the people who died in the last year.  
They spent so much time trying to feature the singer and zooming in and out on 
the screen that there were some names that you could not read.  That is not a 
segment that they should be messing with and trying to make it fancy.  Just 
focus on the screen and leave it alone.
