Being from small town, USA, I admit my ignorance regarding such manners. I always presumed that knighthood had something to with social stature, dedication to the arts, bravery or positive contributions to society maybe. As with LiveAid, I thought it was due to the charitable nature of the thing. Learning that it is simply a matter recognizing someone's generation of revenue & less noble than I thought is disappointing. It seems so...American? to me, somehow.
