After Eight said: "RaisedOnMusicals wrote: "do you not understand that while you might not relate to You Will Be Found, there is a generation of teens out there who no doubt watched the parade and who found the song uplifting and inspirational?"
I have a feelingthat a goodlynumber of teenagers throughouttheland have not seen the show, and have not adopted the song as the anthem of their generation. And I also findit a stretch to thinkthat said teenagers turned onthe Thanksgiving Day Parade first thing in the morning to be uplifted and inspired by either show or song between spoonfuls of breakfast cornflakes. But for argument's sake, let's say what you assert is indeed the case, and that "thiswas for them." To that,I reiterate the question I asked earlier: "And the rest ofus who wished to enjoy the event?"
And whether I relate to the song or not is wholly irrelevant to the question at hand. I relate to and am moved by a song like"Far From the Home I Love." That wouldn't make thatsong any more appropriate for either the venue or the occasion.
We're not talking about rocket science here, just common sense."
Next year, the producers will send you a proposed content list in advance so that you can veto any particular performance you think you might not like. Because, after all, the Thanksgiving Day Parade is geared primarily to those in your demographic, but more importantly, to you in particular
