Any panel that contains John Cleese, Genesis P-Orridge, Nick Cave, and Bob Dylan should be eminently qualified to tackle all the world's problems. Especially if Milan Kundera and Flea are there. Unfortunately, the panel also contains Deepak Chopra, Michael Moore, and Matthew Barney ..... please don't tell me how much you liked Cremaster. Just be quiet and let me hold you.
