And on the equal and opposite side of DIMWIT, Jed dreams that The One will cause a TREMENDOUS EFFUSION of AHT. If he means monkey splatters on canvases or more tired "transgressivism" he is no doubt right. But despite Hollywood's happiness there is no proof this wonder of the ages has caused its PRODUCT to get any better; and as we said before we can't export our AHT because it so brilliantly reflects our IDEALS. Just inviting classical musicians to the White House won't make them any less obscure. We're sure Dubya had lots of them over and couldn't wait for their piano banging to end. (Like the great political philosopher Leon Fleisher.) Besides we've been so SUMNERIZED the last four decades it might open him up to charges of SNOBBERY. No, we should remember Mr. Camelot's guest inaugural poet, the great Robert Frost, was 86 when he spoke "The Gift Outright", and he died two years later. NUF SAID.
Well, one more thing: Imagine if he organized an evening at the White House in honor of Elliot [SIC!!!!!] Carter's hundredth birthday.... 1. People would be asking, "Elliott Who?" 2. People would be yelling, "THAT'S MUSIC?!?" 3. Politico.com would report on it.
