It's kids' choice at these awards

It's a funny old world. A week ago, I was standing on top of the Acropolis in all its ancient stillness, no sound in my ears but the howl of the Attic winds. And here I was a week later, in a hall built for basketball, swamped by the sound of small children screaming over teenage pop stars on the occasion of the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2008 on Saturday evening. In more ways than one, that was profoundly Then, and this was inescapably Now.
