simon cowell and creation
i don't find the big bang theory right or wrong because of any scientific evidence. i could care less as to what may or may not be empirical. the beginning of the universe, in the christian scriptures, was sparked out of spoken poetry. i believe in a resounding bang when it comes to good writing. the big bang theory doesn't discount poetry.
here's where simon cowell and i disagree. american idol winners and x factor contestants are largely not song writers. by my definition then, these shows advocate an industry that has little to do with music. this phenomenon is lacking in bang.
there is a world of beautiful poetry out there. and generally, an eleven year old girl has not lived enough to know about it, to write it, to embody it. a teen sensation looking for a record deal has misplaced pen, paper and harmonica.
a (former) alcoholic, who struggled for years to make it on the road, writes actual music. a black jamaican man sings redemption song a little bit sweeter than the white kid from the burbs. i don't see room for poetry in the work of simon cowell, but ironically, there's plenty of music in the big bang theory.
