And their pals vote for their stuff when they're not on the panel, and it just keeps going that way. And they tend to be very fringe artists, so anything before the 20th century is not worth considering. This is out of date.

Shakespeare is the outstanding example of how that can be done. In all of Shakespeare's plays, no matter what tragic events occur, no matter what rises and falls, we return to stability in the end.

Goodbye Charlton Heston
Goodbye Charlton Heston
I shall miss your acting skills
Your epic movies and the thrills.
You may have been too fond of the gun
Or did it protect your place in the sun?
Surrender it now, this race is run!
To many you are the eternal charioteer
Now you're racing to a new frontier!
I know the Girls will miss you here.
