Pearls before Breakfast

I was really surprised after this reading. I always suspected that talented musicians would easily be recognized and appreciated for their music. While I used to live in Florida, every year in Fantasy Fest, many street musicians performed on the sidewalks and earned a lot of money. My family and I would stop amongst a crowd, to listen to them play and donate some cash. I assumed that it would be more or less the same in the Northern states. Especially since Joshua Bell is such a high profiled classic musician.

Bad Interviews

Anne Hathaway "Catwoman" Interview

In this interview, Jerry Penacoli, 'Extra's' interviewer, asks the cast for the Dark Knight Rises movie questions about their characters and such. While Penacoli asks the lead star, Christian Bale, interesting questions, he has left the diet questions to supporting actress, Ann Hathaway. I felt the interview would have been less problematic, if he asked the stars equally good questions.
