Further sign that the world has lost it's bearings- I'm perusing Salon today and I see this as a headline in their "From the Wires" Section: Hall and Oates deemed 'heroes' of music.

They, along with Rueben Blades and Nile Rodgers (of Chic) were deemed as much by their Recording Academy for being, quote: "outstanding individuals whose creative talents and accomplishments cross all musical boundaries and who are integral to the vitality of the music community."

Now granted Hall & Oates have aged a bit better than some of their contemporaries and songs like "Sara Smiles" are underrated little gems, but have we forgotten about "Maneater?" Whose next as as a "hero of music"? Bryan Adams? Rick Springfield? Asia?
