That’s what happens when you turn it into a political soapbox

I think the network may also be overestimating the popularity of rap
music. My wife commented "what happened to the days when black people
used to sing the best songs"? I agree.
Now what passes as music is just a racist rant.
This from a guy who grew up with nothing but Motown on my turntable.



The Grammy Awards are right up there with the Stupor Bowl and Trump
formal speeches on the list of events I don't watch.

Motown was one of the clients of the agency I worked for in Detroit. We
handled special events planning and pr, but, sadly, not music and artists.


Most of those artists did not really have any representation. That is
why so many died broke while people were raking in millions for their
music. It was the golden age for music tho.
Nobody will be listening to the crap they were throwing grammies at
last, night 10 years from now.
I did find it a bit ironic that the women were making an empowerment
statement in the middle of a ceremony rewarding rap singers who "slap
they bitches" and call them "hos".
