That album is nearly perfect, IMHO.

Not to worry nutty, Trump is a done-deal for an Oscar next year .

@pops A rational choice indeed!🤪 |
I decided to have elective root canal instead.

I learned that Bill Clinton, Hillary Cliinton, Barack Obama and Al Gore all have Grammy awards.

@brf +1 Very true. At least the Grammy's recognized The War on Drugs' "A Deeper Understanding" for best rock album!💿🔊 |
Another example of "control the media, control the message." Too much money and power in the hands of too few people. And I literally mean a few. |
I am not
surprised by the underwhelming Audiogon responses (including me) to last night’s Grammy’s
telecast. I would hazard a guess as to the reasoning is
that the targeted average Grammy demographic is significantly different than
the average Audiogon demographic.

Frogman,
Well said and I share your sentiments. Repetitive and stale political pablum. I didn’t watch and I wonder what the ratings were for this telecast. My gut feeling is that they are probably markedly diminished. I think at this juncture quite a few people have just tuned out.

Ben Platt was excellent, most everything else including political messages was embarrassing. On the positive side, subwoofers should sell well. The industry is being led in the wrong direction despite the plethora of talent out there. JMHO. |
Didn’t watch it all, but did catch most of it; so I may have missed something worthwhile. The feeling that I was mostly left with was one of embarrassment at the level of what is perceived by most music consumers to be “the best” today; and, dismay at how an entire industry continues to allow itself to be used and manipulated for promulgating an unbalanced political agenda. A notable exception for me and a performance demonstrating true talent and honest delivery free of bs was Ben Platt singing Leonard Bernstein’s “Somewhere”. |
The Grammys these days are an overt display of the decay of American culture.🤮 |
Didn't watch it - wouldn't watch it. I recall Elvis Presley being asked his opinion on the Vietnam war and his answer was, and I paraphrase - "Well, I'm just an entertainer and I have no opinion on that sir". Something like that. |
You missed Rap and Hip-Hop. At least that's what I saw/heard in the first minute my wife and I had it on. Then we watched a movie.
The Grammys. Not what they used to be... |
"What am I missing?"
Nothing |

- "I was too busy listening to MUSIC on my analogue rig. Sigh. What am I missing?"
You didn't miss anything except a bunch of over paid, egotistical, self aggrandizing people continuing to tear down our civil society with their anti-capitalistic propaganda passed off as "humor." Stick with the analog rig. :-) Frank. |
