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.
