Most of us know absolutely nothing about opera. Maybe it is not that good for people who know the opera world. But for the rest of us, it is inspiring. A guy who looks like a loser blows them away.

If you want to indulge in the “Tiger Woods Syndrome” then you should follow Lewis Hamilton at his weekend’s Formula 1 US Grand Prix.
Hamilton, an articulate, manicured, well groomed rookie has taken Motor Racing by storm this year. He has been on the podium of all six races of the F1 Championship to date, gaining his first win last weekend in Canada on a circuit he had never driven before.
At 22 years of age he is clearly an outstanding talent and a potential legend.
Watch qulifying on Speed Channel saturday (2.00PM Eastern) and the race on Fox the following day.
I feel sorry for the opera aficionados and expert opera singers who are complaining about this wonderful tenor. Their own hubris, envy, and exalted sense of self-importance have made them deaf to the beauty that thrills the rest of us in this man's story and voice.
They no longer hear music. They hear only notes.
