      Thank you for interviewing a brilliant and inspiration artist and choreographer!!! Shen Wei has brought eastern and western dance cultures together to make a beautiful collage of dance and art. Thank you again Mr. Rose!!!

      Excellant Guest! Someone who can speak English that well from China is truely a rarity. Good job Mr. Rose. The longer you have someone like that on your program the longer you have to explore the guest's thinking process. Do not let the sound of the words, or the imperfect English throw you. It is the thinking that is the most difficult to grasp.

      Myself fluent in a latin language and in an asian one too. The asian thought process is where the struggle is. Charlie, I know you can handle French. Now for you to keep an interview going with an asian national is a whole another ball game. So many people need to see you struggle with this process of understanding someone's thinking process from China. America is such a young pup, compared to China. When Shen talks of culture, and the movement from that. Ohhh my gosh, that is thousands and thousands of years of culture, where a new movement is happening. That is powerful, and enduring. Shen is correct that cultural elements are so much more important than money. I agree. There is so much to explore there. Get em next time. Thanks.

      The two year anniversary of Katrina and not a trace of this on your program Mr. Rose. The New Gilded Age, I reckon. Shame on you. Shame on you.
