THAT'S NOT RIGHT
Is anyone else a little concerned and disheartened by the fact that I saw more about the 25th anniversary on the death of John Lennon today on the news than I saw about the anniversary of the attack at Pearl Harbor yesterday? Damn this celebrity obsessed culture we live in. 25 years ago a singer died. Okay, fine. But 64 years ago over 2000 American troops were killed in an attack that literally changed the world. I think that's a little more important than John Lennon, I don't care what kind of songs he sung. I dread the day when 9/11 becomes a secondary story to some empty-headed, flavor of the month actress' marriage to some braindead actor. That'll be the death nail for this country.

Welcome to America.
Jake has it right, look at the timespan. 25 years vs 64 years. 64 years is 2 to 3 generations ago - 25 years is 1 generation ago.
That said, the majority of people are still more concerned with who J-Lo slept with than people dying in Africa... so I agree with you on that.
Qualifier:
The majority of WESTERN people.
(I'm hoping you knew I meant that anyway)
