It is very stale and old-fashioned sounding. They've been using Ratt
for the News Sounder for what, five years now? There news sucks; all
Michale Jackson and Robert Blake. Their Drive Time is wall to wall
commercials, except for the ranting about the Mexicans. It's awful.

And it is tied for #1 in LA in the latest Arbitrends.

And American Idol is the number one TV show.

Because many people watch it. Duh.

Because it can deliver a demographic. Not because it has any lasting
value.

Most entertainment was not designed for lasting value. Dickens was paid by
the word to pad stories and draw them out to increase circulation, and
Shakespeare was considered "vulgar" by the ruling classes. They both
provided entertainments, and, in retrospect, we found them enduring as well.
Much of the best writing of that period is totally forgotten and irrelevant.
Don't be so hasty to dismiss the simple act of providing enjoyment and
entertainment.
