Music writers love music. The article - Logies night a paean to pap Blast and damnation. Well, excuuuuuuuse us. Mr Shmith misses the point of television entirely. If TV were supposed to be only an educational, provocative, cerebrally demanding medium, we wouldn't give it to everyone.
TV is for everyone.
Admittedly, there is a cerebral downside to this. People, taken individually, like to be provoked, challenged and appealed to on a variety of levels. Taken as a mass, we like Neighbours . We choose TV as way to relax, to unwind, forget our troubles. It's hard to unwind after a hard day by watching Pakistani terrorists chucking Molotov cocktails at school buses.
