The Grammys suck. This year was no different. Here are the reasons that it sucked:
- The Police played "Roxanne". It was the only song they got to play.
- Earth, Wind & Fire was the backup band for Ludacris and Mary J. Blige. Backup band? Are you fucking kidding me? Philip Bailey got to sing for 30 seconds max before the other 2 clowns came on stage and he absolutely destroyed them (he's the guy who sang the high stuff in "Fantasy").
- Not enough John Mayer.
- Too much Dixie Chicks.
- The James Brown tribute should have been way longer.
- RHCP played that shitty-ass "hey-oh, this is what I say-oh" song. Write better lyrics! Fucktard.
- James Blunt.
But the worst part of the night was easily Mary J. Blige's acceptance speeches. When someone starts off a speech with, "First, I have to thank my father, God, lord Jesus Christ," you know it's going down hill. Why do people insist on attributing their achievements to God? It just cheapens their accomplishments and deems them unworthy of praise. Thank your parents for their superior genes that enabled you to have a marketable talent, or thank yourself for working so hard to achieve your goal. If God existed, he wouldn't give a shit about you and you're worthless Grammy anyways, nor would he care about your lame music. Therefore, be proud of yourself and cut that humble bullshit.
By the way, I changed the channel at the first hint of the words "God," "Jesus," or "Lord." I even jumped at the word "father."

so much angst. so much anger.
we must soon hang.
I MISSED ROXANNE?!!?!? *waah* And I can't write a new post because I have no internet. And I think that I packed up my wireless thingie anyways. Don't worry, I am getting internet set up in my new place. I might not have food, tv, or electricity, but damnit, I will have the internet.
And did we get a divorce or something? I haven't seen you in ages.
"I might not have food, tv, or electricity, but damnit, I will have the internet."
That's how I would live if I had to.
That is how you'd live your life, Johnny. Who am I kidding...that is how we lived as students 2nd year. God damn, 4th year kicks ass with having actual food and a house warmer than 8 degrees!
What about a tribute to michael brecker? Last time I checked, his discography (as a sidemen), placed him on possibly the most grammy nominated recordings ever. Not to mention most of the sax solos you hear in that R&B style started with him, and everyone's been copying since. I think he deserves more recognition, even if he isn't "mainstream".
