On the general topic of music theory in popular culture, there’s a notable episode of an old TV show, Moonlighting, which starred Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis. In the episode, Willis is dating a cellist, and he goes over to her wall, and she has a diploma of some sort in Music Theory. So, Willis says, “Music Theory, huh? [ plucks the C string on her cello ] -- I was going to get a degree in Music Theory, but Grand Funk Railroad broke up!”<BR>
