It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

The Forrest Gump syndrome....

It's just one consequence of the dumbing down of America, the victory of anti-intellectualism, and the antagonism toward education and the arts......

I never quite understood the glorification of the simple man in America. The "anti-intellectualism" as you put it. It's in a lot of Hollywood films dating right back to the 30s. It's almost completely absent in Europe, where it's smarter to be smart and nobody wants to be simple. Where it exists, it occurs in a smarter form - in the UK it's "The man on the Clapham Omnibus" or "any reasonable person". At least we have reason in the mix.
