Broken Record

The 2022 Grammy Awards, originally scheduled for January 31, has been postponed to a date yet to be determined due to what I call the omicorona - the Omicron strain of SARS CoV-2.

And, I assume, even when they do have them, you'll see more masked musicians than when Kiss last attended.

I could give a twit less.  No, not really, I couldn't.  Most of the nominees for the major awards are pop and hip-hop stars, who make more noise than music, and of course white guys with guitars - demonized for the past decade, especially in the 2020 movie Trolls World Tour - are unrepresented.  The only honky I could find among the Album of The Year nominees is - Justin Bieber??

Given the tasteless presentations and performances of recent Grammy Awards shows - including a Moonie-like mass wedding ceremony at the 2014 Grammys - it's obvious that the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences would rather honor the popular culture of the times more than the "music" that's supposed to represent it.  As far as I'm concerned, the Grammy winners should just have their awards mailed to them.  Yeah, I know I sound like a Mr. Wilson, but most of these performers are menaces to society.

But I hope Brandi Carlile wins the Song of the Year Grammy for "Right On Time." 😊
