There's more here to respond to after I've chewed on it, but about the Schama stuff:
(1) We're Tivo'ing to DVD on that but I haven't seen any of it. Marc has such an intellectual crush on him, though, and we both loved the History of Britain series, so we'll see it eventually. Glad to know that it's good!
(2) To make it all a little bit more relevant, Michael Eric Dyson seems to be making a v. similar point about hip-hop in his new book - that sometimes art is SUPPOSED to make us uncomfortable.
