For Susan Boyle, the dream is just beginning

I have just watched the 6pm news here in Australia, and I heard what I have read for the umpteenth time today: someone using the glib, throwaway line "the dream is over for Susan Boyle."

This, of course, is arrant nonsense, and the result of a combination of lazy journalism and smarta*sed copywriting.

I end with a well-known quote from Henry David Thoreau. 

Susan doesn't need to read this, because she is already doing what Thoreau advocates. It would be nice if her critics and the MSM would do likewise...:

I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
