The Grammy's: Nonsense or Nostalgia
BFT has brought it to our attention that the Grammy's have become a flawed, over-hyped, sales ploy, wrapped in a neat little gold-plated gramophone package. Some might argue that the award ceremony allows the greatest living art form a chance to commend those who have worked hard to keep it living.
Regardless, I think it is time to experiment and see how flawed the system really is.
Let's put to sleep Lynard Skynard, see if they become grammy worthy, and ultimately prove BFT's angry man POV. And shit, if they fail to win a grammy at the very least we'll be setting the Bird Free. Because last night that bird sounded like it had its' head ripped off by angry mobsters. Oh pretty bird...
So until that happens...
Agree, disagree, or use the Grammy's as a springboard to dive in and discuss all that is wrong with the music industry.
RANT ON!

although i agree with most of your comments i considered the grammy's to be better than most years.
besides the fact that no one will give a damn penny to help the tsumani relief fund (good going guys) since the rendition of across the universe sounded worse than a crack babies cry (personally i'd rather listen to a clock tick all day). regardless---here's my take:
opening act: kicked ass...who doesn't love to here that crazy version of my favorite fiddler eating some gefilte fish on the roof. thank you gwen.
melissa ethridge/joss stone covering J.J.--rock on and i don't even like melissa
green day keeps getting better and better with each album.
ray...you're great, you were great, you're dead.
how can you even rip on alicia keyes? that girl has everything going on...name one female singer that is as talented w/ as much passazz (yes i said it) as she
AND kanye's a bitch and probably fucked up his only chance when he cried boo-hoo (was it at the billboard awards?) when that girl (was it alison krause?) won for best new artist. no one likes a cry baby...silly boy...trust me i'm a pre-k teacher. the grammy's aren't forgiving and either is the public. yes you're talented, and yes you probably should be the best new artist, but keep your dignity---or didn't you learn that word in college before you dropped out. not to worry--we'll be celebrating kanye west day here in chicago thanks to mayor daily and wgci...you dumbasses...are you all halucinating?
and finally---the wonder!!! oh how i love that blind man. he makes me want to sing in the key of life. what ever he sings turns to gold...ahhh...
I agree that giving awards to people who have died, has no purpose. And if they're not dead, they usually can't comprehend what was given to them.
Don't even get me started on the grammy's - but the oscar's are worse. Take solace.
