This again. Can we just leave this be for good? Some people like it, some people don’t, potentially more people rather do not like it. That is it. Not a single one of these articles is ever adding anything more to the discussion.

This article added quite a bit to the discussion. For one, U2’s beautiful day was also considered, as was a semi-operatic song performed by Russell Watson. It’s not simply a rehash of the hate it/love arguments. I encourage you to read it.

I posted this because it is incorporating the oral history, and puts to bed some unfounded speculation.

The full books are reportedly excellent, but not that many of us have read them as yet.

And no matter how great some fans found it, the song really contributed to the perception that the franchise shifted to be very American oriented over the course of Berman’s leadership. It was a real barrier to growing the international audience.
