"Why does Ang Lee deserve the attention and praise more than an insurance sales manager from Hackensack?
Answer: celebrity worship"

The insurance sales manager certainly deserves praise and attention if he creates something that can impact on so many people.

There is nothing wrong with a degree of celebrity worship when someone is being recognized for their accomplishments. While you are an un-named guest and none of us can determine what your experience on which you base your opinions, I think most people do look up to those that can create great art or work that effects others.

Your opinion of the "best song" is strictly your opinion. I think others, with more open minds, look beyond their preconceived notions of music and would realize that the song has value and context that made it stand above others. It isn't something that I will be humming throughout the day, but it was a performance that struck me by its openess and honesty.
