Speaking of appreciations
...........if that's the word, here's one by Brian Appleyard of Homer Simpson, patriarch of the family and program that for my money is the best send-up of the American Way of Life ever. I learned of Brian's piece via Maxine's Petrona blog and was saddened to learn of her inability to "get" pop culture (and this despite Stephen Hawking's multiple guest-starring roles as himself on The Simpsons).

Well, John, I always had this crazy idea that if I stopped dashing around working and making people's tea, and actually sat down and watched the Simpsons, then I might stand a chance of "getting it". The Simpsons sure looks better in the 30-sec bursts than many other popular culture icons, from what I read about them in the papers (eg Big Brother and English soaps).
