Saturday I was bored and nothing worth watching was to be found on the tube. PBS is having their pledge drive, so that means that there's actually stuff that I'd want to watch on. The next show up was called "Andy Andrews: Seven Decisions" and I think to myself "Is that the same Andy Andrews who used to be on Nashville Now all the time?" I watched a while and it was him. Apparently, in the years since Nashville Now left us, Andy has apparently became a big time motivational speaker. It was a pretty good speech. It's hard for me to believe the guy who used to tell jokes between Shotgun Red and the Geezinslaw Brothers is now "the modern day Will Rogers" as one reviewer put it. Hence my title "What do I know?"
Other things that prove I no nothing are the internet and TV on DVD. When I was in college 10+ years ago, I fiddled a bit with HTML and web browsers, but not seriously. I thought the web was just a fad, like CB radio or something. Oops. And selling the TV shows you just showed on DVD? Aren't you hurting your syndication rights? Who would buy a whole season of a TV show that's still on? Apparently a lot of people. That's why TV folks make the big bucks I guess. I don't make the big bucks, because, hey, what do I know?

I especially love when you are watching the PBS pledge drive, and the "gift" for donating is a DVD of the program you are currently watching. On TV. For free. Those crazy PBS goofs!
