You know, I never thought of it that way, but I think you're on to something. That actually helps to explain a few things...
I'm not telling LMFD that. It would spoil it for her. Let her have her illusions a little while longer.

Many, many years ago, I took my son & a friend of his to the old Civic Arena for a WWF performance. I laughed my, ah, head off, it was so ridiculous (got a lot of dirty looks from the kids, they took it all seriously back then. Well, they were about 14...). The one that sticks in my mind was the pseudo-Native American Warrior called Totanka. The guy's announced, comes running down the entrance aisle at full tilt, and just as he gets to the ring, BAM! some dwarf in a clown suit, Dink (the miniature Doink) slams him in the back of the head with a metal chair. Down goes Totanka! Hits the floor, arms and legs shaking in a pseudo-Hollywood-grand mal-type seizure. The crowd roars, Dink runs away, Totanka stops moving, two referees come running down with a stretcher, roll him on it, haul him away.
Now in real life, he'd be on his way to the hospital for a CAT scan, maybe a concussion, right? But this is the WWF after all.
An hour or so later, after a few matches and a short intermission, the rassler's for the next match are announced. One of them is... Totanka! Guy comes running down the aisle, almost exactly as he did earlier... not a mark on him, not a sign that anything had happened to him. Of course, the crowd roars, the kids cheer him on, and he wins his match.
Riiiiiiiiight.
Realistic? That's one thing that the WWE (nee WWF) ain't.

I definitely don't understand the appeal and never have.
Bread and circuses, Kel. Right there's your circus, along with American Idol, Dancing With The Stars and similar offal....I mean "offerings".

Yeah, I don't watch any of that. I also generally dislike pop music.
you COULD have been forced to go to a JUSTIN BEIBER concert!
Theoretically possible, but since LMFD can't stand him, I don't think I have a thing to worry about. Thank God.

Lucky you. Mine are currently obsessed with One Direction and Ed Sheeran. Ed Sheeran is actually pretty good. Some of his stuff is kinda folky, which I like, and he has talent. One Direction? Gah! They can't go the way of NKOTB fast enough.
Believe it or not, the first time I heard the word "meshugah" was when I was in first grade in catholic school from a Catholic nun. Now, this may sound strange but this was in Brooklyn where so many different ethnic groups, nationalities, and religions lived so close by each other. You could be in an Italian catholic neighborhood one minute and walk a block in one direction and be in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. It was one of the more remarkable aspects of growing up in New York City. So many different people of different ethnicity, religion, nationality, etc. all living side by side, Its one of the things I love about NYC.

I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Which is also like badly performed performance art mixed with softcore gay porn.
As outspoken against homosexuality as Beiber is, he sure is a soft, gentle little twink. Methinks he has secrets which would make him a much happier young man to release from his guarded heart. be free, little rainbow, be free! One day, he will learn to smile and love the way he always dreams it to be.
