Did I hear correctly that Today Show VIEWERS paid for her NYC trip? You mean to tell me that Mr. Berry Gordy couldn't have MOTOWN pay for their trip to the Big Apple to be his "personal guests?" I hope I have inaccurate information. After all, MOTOWN just turned this great story into a press stunt, and it'll sell them tickets.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
