The opinions of some actual musicians:
“”I don’t know what this means. I don’t think it means anything.” Eddie Vedder, on receiving a Grammy
“Why don’t the Grammys matter? Because it feels rigged and cheap — like a popularity contest that the insiders club has decided”
“I think the Grammys are nothing more than some gigantic promotional machine for the music industry. They cater to a low intellect and they feed the masses. They don’t honor the arts or the artist for what he created. It’s the music business celebrating itself. That’s basically what it’s all about.”
“the Grammys represent something outside of the real world of music “that’s fully industry based”.
“Everyone should go home, this is ridiculous. You should not be doing this. We should not be gathering in a big room and looking at each other and pretending that this is important.”
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in Hell Could break that Satan’s spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singin”’ …………..
Really Satan owns the entertainment Industry – does not even hide anymore, the industry has so become in thrall to evil,,,,,

Brain-dead rubbish. The Grammys are a reliable indicator of the kind of strutting middle class popsters whose outputs should be avoided at all costs. Popular music now is in a worse state than before punk.

“Petras remarked after the show that she had intended to shock religious Christians, given that they’re not accepting of her lifestyle, and that mission was clearly accomplished.”
What she should have said was, “I am a coward really but I want to make out that I’m dead edgy and shocking and well, let’s face it no one cares about Christians….I mean, I wouldn’t dare to try and shock anyone from any other religion even if they don’t accept my lifestyle. No way would I offend them because they might come after me and not turn the other cheek.”

It’s not sick and evil though is it. Most people are thoroughly decent and just get on with their lives and ignore all this nonsense the same way they have for decades. There’s always been attention seekers and always will be, it’s just now social media coupled with lazy journalism means they get more attention than they deserve
Think maybe he meant to say *care* greatly that society is sick which is very much the case and and difficult to argue with and yet here you doing so -repeatedly

If if wasn’t for the controversy, hardly anyone would have known The Grammys happened. Give it a few more years and people will be going, “oh the Oscars happened last week?”

From Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion in three generations. That must be the fastest civilisational decline in history.

I’ve noticed a sea change in the attitudes of celebrities. Where once they used to cavort around their stages sticking it to the establishment, they now have become the very mouthpieces for the establishment.
It’s like listening to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5zQTmkY7GI

Not a good indication the article will be balanced when the author uses the term “nonbinary” without putting it in quotes.

I didn’t watch it and I’d bet not many others did either. Most of their ‘music’ is tiresome schlock.

”’Cause fire is the devil’s only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan’s spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singin”’

Aww – bless him!

Yes, why wouldn’t they attempt to shock a Muslim, who would throw them off a building? How courageous!
