Virgil, I prefer 'easy listening' music and have it on most of the time (like right now), but we very much need windows into the world around us. Because pictures still trump words for most people, that screen remains firmly center-stage as our information supply - and thought-control device - once you see it that way (need I mention again that it was that device that greased the path to an invasion that most people now regret). Blast me for saying this too many times, but how many times have you heard that on the TV? To the extent that the device wanted to heal itself, shows like Imus' were a glimmer of light and hope, but now he's been extinguished. Not to rush to judgment, but I *think* I'm seeing a commensurate "play-down" of "news" related that war these last few days on MSNBC. Look at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ right now to see a sex-related lead story - at the same time that war is in shambles. Clearly, the warmongers want to bury their disaster by diverting attention to - of course - anything-that-smacks-of-sex stories, while they come up with yet another ridiculous, disingenuous plan (how about that we now need a "war czar"?). I never figured Imus to be much of a hero. Frankly, when I did have his show on, too often I thought it was boring, but now that his light is turned off, and I look around for TV alternatives - and don't see any - I'm realizing that he deserved more credit then he was getting.
