Some thoughts on the Grammys I didn't watch.

I've never seen them, even when I was still plugged into the grid and had tv.

Whitney died the day before in the bathtub of her motel room. I was never a fan of Whitney. I understand that in her prime she was possibly the best singer going, but she sang generic pop music and all her songs were about love. Not really my thing. In my mind, being excellent at pop music is like being excellent at mowing the lawn or getting the mail. Still, sad to see her go down such a path and die so young.

They let that woman-beating wimp, Chris Brown, lip-sync during the show, probably for a little controversy and to get some more eyeballs on the screen. It worked. We're talking about it, aren't we? I wonder what woman or child will threaten his precious masculinity next?

Adele won a shitload of awards. I like her. I think she's sexy and I LOVE her curves. I have yet to hear any of her music, though. Winning a bunch of Grammys for it is not a good sign that I will like it, however. Cheers to Adele.

As a matter of principle, I dislike award shows. They're too self-congratulatory or something. Also, when I was an angry, alienated teen on probation, my music was never represented at the Grammys. It was the music all the jocks and preps listened to. I imagine it's still pretty much the same way and I still hate that crap.
