What is funny to me in that article is it makes Mike White the celebrity, whereas I know many people who see the Rev. Mel White as the celebrity in that pair.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Mike White definitely has more mainstream name recognition, or at least credits -- I mean, everyone knows School of Rock!

I did not know Mike White or his father.
SMV I know.
Clearly there is an aspect to my experience that is incredibly racialized!

Absolutely, but more in certain circles, obviously.
I am reminded of my mother saying, "Nancy Carlsson-Paige is Matt Damon's mother?? She's famous!" Sure, in her field.

I have never heard of Mike White's father, but I know Mike from School of Rock, Freaks and Geeks, and I also know that he was a staff writer on Dawson's Creek!

Wow, way to blow it out of the water with the first singer! Randy is full of shit, she's got a great voice for the type of song she chose. No, she's not an opera star or a pretty voice, but she can still sing.

Heh, I've already forgot her name! Too many of them right now, 36 fer cryin' out loud. Dark hair, I want to say Felicia? I'm not sure.
ETA: From the pictures on the AI website, I think the first one was Jackie Tohn.
