OK, well I'll just have to respectfully disagree with you about British TV programming....but I agree ITV is mostly useless, and Channel 4 has been losing it's edge for a while.
But anyway, I'm not sure about yr point on mp3's. hi-fi and TV..??
I was just saying that all mediums have good and bad, and when I am home in Oz, I'm glad to have a TV. It gives me stuff no other medium currently does.
Anyway, to answer the original thread, music wld win hands down.
Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been,
Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene;
As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be,
So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me.
