I saw your reply comment to mine...Thanks Dominic. <br /><br />I saw your reply comment to mine and I intended swinging by your blog last night but got distracted. Sorry for that, and that you had to come over here - I didn't intend to make you feel bad.<br /> <br />I wasn't actually cross with you, it was more the pervading whiff of mirth that hit a nerve and I shoudln't have reacted the way I did.<br /><br />It suggested in its generalisational way there were more deserving tracts of society than a girl training her dog which I thought was morally and fundamentally wrong. But that wasn't your fault, it was the reaction the stupid prize money drew. <br /><br />I agree there's not enough incentive portrayed on tv to encourage more kids to take up instruments and the like beyond the media hype surrounding pop acts (and that's not a dis on pop either). The disparity between prizes is deplorable, as is that between the media's priorities. <br /><br />TV is such a powerful social control you'd think it would, by now, have been put to better use. Maybe music lessons in real time on tv for starters to get to all those who'd usually vegetate at home.<br /><br />I dunno. Rambling now...think you'd have to have been the poor kid others laughed at to know where I was coming from. <br /><br />Thanks for addressing it though.Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573472801176728225.post-10357309719538131632012-05-23T16:19:24.271-07:002012-05-23T16:19:24.271-07:00A worthy winner.

I've done a bit of a rewrite, as I wrote that post quickly and I'd not meant it to come over as it obviously did! I just wanted to vent my frustration at priorities involved the media people who design these shows. There was even a thing on the radio the other day about how they even encourage lousy acts to give the public a laugh in the early rounds.Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573472801176728225.post-37337485421338223752012-04-12T17:01:55.664-07:002012-04-12T17:01:55.664-07:00Thanks, Michelle! xThanks, Michelle! xRachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573472801176728225.post-49418856961375185092012-04-12T16:59:23.097-07:002012-04-12T16:59:23.097-07:00WOW, wonderful news, Rachel!
