	Electrifying Classical Rhetoric: Ancient Media, Modern Technology, and Contemporary Composition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Our entire understanding of classical culture now has to be revise—and with it our understanding of later cultures up to our own time—in terms of our new awareness of the role of the media in structuring the human psyche and civilization itself.
		The fact that a primary reception of classical rhetoric has been made utterly definite (that is, static) in positivistic presentations illustrates the moribund state not only of Cartesian dualism but of discourse education that remains maginalized, ghettoized, and useless.
		Classical rhetoric, like the humanities in general, is simply too important to be left to the positivists and to the elitists.

		In the classical music arena, where string quartets and orchestras dominate over electric guitars and drum kits, it is easy to forget that the "music industry" also honors composers, many of whom rarely receive recognition from the other organizations mentioned in this article.
		While the annual awards of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences are dominated by the latest pop hit sensations and boomer-generation pop mainstays, the Grammys also provide composers with one of the world's best-recognized paperweights as well as the chance rub elbows with the pop stars.
