i just think wall-to-wall weeks-long billy mays coverage is overboard. yes, billy mays was immensely talented. yes, he gave his gift of showmanship to an entire generation. ok, ok, probably the greatest entertainer since sarah bernhardt or al jolson or john wilkes booth or samuel johnson. still, a nationally-broadcast memorial service at staples center? endless repeating videos of the rehearsals for his last infomercial? please.

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Whatta loada utter crap we're willing to accept as value, what pathetic cultural lives, etc.
