For American Idol Fans

To those of you who may have watched American Idol this past evening, I plead with you not to judge Minneapolis and all of Minnesota by this pathetic display of television. There are many people in Minnesota that can sing incredibly well. Some of the best college choirs in the world find there home in the upper midwest at schools like St. Olaf and Concordia. Unfortunately what we seen with American Idol displays one of the great pitfalls of American pop culture. A society that says if you try hard enough, you can become anything you want, breeds this false sense of security. I think we all need a Simon in our life to keep us grounded and knock some sense into our thick skulls. The one bright spot about the show is tomorrow night looks even worse, so people may soon forget about Minneapolis. For those of you needing more confirmation regarding the city I love, talk to me, and I'll convince you.
