Me? Uncultured?
I have no idea why this bugged me. It just did. Trent Lott, right before the President was sworn in for a second term, introduced Denyce Graves, singing The American Anthem. All I knew was that this was not "O say can you see...", and it wasn't the pseudo-anthemic "America, The Beautiful". I'd never heard this song before, and I had really thought of myself as an american.
Whew. Found a link - lots of links actually, once I found her name again and found out a little more about who she is (not many CDs with mezz-sopranos ripped on my harddrive).
I felt so uncultured. Now I've got to pop in my score from PHANTOM when I get home, while watching Discovery Channel on mute or something.

wow, yes. wicked is, well, wicked. check out some snippits on itunes. if you're not familiar with it, it's based on a book that came out a few years ago. a very entertaining read. the unfortunate story of how the wicked witch of the west became so wicked. and i even liked it before i moved to kansas.
two votes for wicked - hmm, might have to check that one out, you think? then i'd be "cultured" :)
