ted koppel, stephen breyer, kofi annan, condoleeza rice, carly fiorina, sandra day o'connor, steve jobs, tom brokaw, anthony kennedy, oprah winfrey...some of the recent stanford commencement speakers. but they and their silly accomplishments pale in comparison to the amazing DANA GIOIA!

[jjhjjff]

This is one of the best speeches I've ever listened to. Perhaps it's not the kind of topic that you'd expect to be addressed in a graduation speech, but the content reflects an intelligent social diagnosis by a wise intellectual.

What is the message for the people? Compare Steve Job's speech. You should give students some insights, not babble about poor American pop culture.

[SamuelCyrus]

Thank you for your immense contribution to our world and our country of freedom and life and to our soul. Vaya con Dios!

[rachellesi]

You freaked me out!

For a minute i thought he died and had to look up Dana Gioia news . I assume you are talking about him leaving the NEA

[SamuelCyrus]

Actually only talking about his important, wonderful and continuing contributions to our universe and our species. No intention to even remotely reference anything else. Very sorry. But I am glad that you apparently cherish him as much as I do. Thank you for that.
