Exhibit A:

Where, Beck, despite being scrawny and white, manages to rap along with the best of his latino brethren, to the delight and bemusement of all. People listen, and they are happy because of the listening. Many CDs are sold.

Exhibit B:

Where, Nick, comes to a sudden revelation in the dead of night. All the maybes, the mighthavebeens, mighthavebeennots, all of it- it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all. Life is an equation of positives and negatives and it all ultimately balances out to zero. The mighthavebeens? They give you an experience- savoring what you have, and coloring it in. What we do is enriched by what we didn't do, and guilttrip-tripping and agonizing over choices made in the past is sapping away the vitality of the present.

And god, does it feel good to come to that.
