There are many of these folks thus their numbers control a good deal of what is offered by radio and network TV. Their fate like the lottery is about luck not what they know or have learned.
The others are the "Jeopardy" people of which there are far fewer, hate reality TV, will watch something that makes them think and learn. These people rely on their wits and though they embrace luck that comes their way they prefer to earn an accomplishment. Shows like Damages, LOST, The Wire etc. get their attention because they make them think.
The first time I heard Jeff Lynne speak he was telling the reporter that ELO would exceed the accomplishments of the Beatles. I may a mental note to put Mr Lynne in the "Wheel..." category as his music doesn't seem to live up to his expectations.

John Lennon was a huge fan of ELO. Georger Harrison was a huge fan too. I think those guys know a little bit about music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most respected guys in the business.
Here is John Lennon on ELO:

Here is Jeff Lynne playing with Eric Clapton, Elton John, and Geroge Harrison. If Jeff Lynne didn't have much talent, I wonder why all these guys wanted to work with him.
