Dean & Woodie for Greatest American on Discovery Channel

[RudimentaryPeni]

Well it isn't like we are talking about an EXTREMELY accredited source. Discovery channel, or discovery.com, is just another company. They are just out to make money, and what better way then name people that everyone and their grandmother knows about so people will watch it and say "oh i loved him in _______" or "i saw him live back in '72". Also, the advertisers probably look and see what the show is and see if people will watch. If you were an advertiser, would you pay for ads on a show that no one watches? So in conclusion, what I'm trying to say, it's not really the absolute most important Americans, its more or less the ones that will make the station the most money.

And out of that list of entertainers, I am disappointed that I do not see Miles Davis on there. I think that he may have done more for America than Ellen DeGeneres.
