GUEST BLOGGER (LEE MCD): OPRAH, ELVIS & SUPERMAN?

I guess I'm back to my VH1 stint - the station just aired its list of the 200 Greatest Pop Culture Icons. Like a college ranking system, it can hardly be accurate or even sometimes fair. But, sometimes you just have to question how and what others could possibly be thinking? My brother & I verbally ran through possibilities for the top spot and came up with Elvis, Mickey Mouse, Madonna, or Wacko Jacko - Michael Jackson. Well, all 4 of our guesses were in the Top 17, Mickey Mouse beating out Bill Clinton by 1 spot. To our surprise, and really our chagrin, Oprah Winfrey was #1 followed by Superman at #2. Elvis, the king of all media, yesteryear and today, was at #3. How could this be? How could this be? How could this be? Check out the results and weigh in with your opinions.

Oprah??!?


Please! Oprah over Elvis? Over the Beatles? OVER SUPERMAN?!?!

I hope some one at VH1 got fired. Honestly do they consider Martha Stewart a Sex symbol too?

Let's just say, I'm getting tired of the Jennifer Lopez thing. Her movies suck, her music is nothing extraordinary. I sometimes feel Hollywood determines who is going to be "cool" and then forces it down our throats.
