The most amazing thing about awards shows is not the music itself. It's the morons who decide who wins the awards. A committee of like minded idiots(corporate assholes with the money to decide if we live or die) chooses what idiots(the general public ie. people who buy whatever they're selling) should listen to. The most necessary thing about a list like ours is to band together, listen to each other and each others music and give a big middle finger to anyone who subscribes to Capitalist Herdism. (I am not a communist and I do believe that Capitalism is good, however there is a point when too much is too much. What the hell does a billionaire Know about music anyway.) Sorry for the Filibuster But Corporate Music is still Muzak(music listened to in elevators and department stores) in my book. ServUs Industry --- "...(Sunsp0t)..." <sunspot@subdimension.com> wrote:
