Sometimes im overcome with sadness for the human race.  I actually have moments where i need to sit down and have a conversation with myself to talk myself off the ledge of hopeless-ness.

Fear & Loathing Vol II -The Grammys 2009

Thankfully i had to escape to work about 1 hour or so into the Grammy's last night.  So im aware i shouldn't be qualified to discuss and criticize something i didn't fully watch, but guess what - im gonna ! I'll try to keep it not so much jaded, or drag on like im sure the show did. Ive read many bitter reviews today, and like so many authors of such pieces, they get criticized, but i guess its all part of the puzzle.  I know music is subjective, but so is life. So up yours if you disagree with me..hahaa- kidding, but seriously ! I think im right in what music is to me, so i stand with my conviction, and i choose to reflect upon it.

 So really - what was your suck factor of that show?

U2's new song is disappointing to me.  There's some good lyrics in there and thus a foundation for great potential, but they shit the bed on this final product.  Im done paying high prices to go see there show and im sure i'll download, for free, the new album. Then i'll decide my u2 future and how much more of my money they can take from me.

Wow did Whitney seem high to me !  I mean the legs look good, the body looks good. But that lady is in a hole she cant seem to get out of.

Was Kayne trying to look like a Jackson ?

Mia performing on her due date has got to rate way up there on my "stunts that just seem dumb to me" list.

Thankfully Plant & Krauss added some much needed class to a truly classless spectacle.  I loved how the buffoons on Dean Blundells morning show admitted they never knew plant & krauss had an album out. and they were serious. Another example of the industry's uphill battle. People just are not paying attention.  102.1 has the most popular radio morning show hosts, in the country's largest market, and there more educated and interested in there gay, porno, physic, buzz word bad news story pieces, then about the actual music. Sure there demographic are the people that need there mornings light & funny, people need to escape the life they've chosen to commute too. Getting the latest dirty sanchez or hot carl story is way better then actually hearing good music.  Yikes was almost hating there - no no. just getting extreme in making my point.  What was it again ? Something about people that could give a shit about music and recognizing it im sure.. 

A heart string gave a lil strum of sadness watching Stevie Wonder.  I turned away for good after about 30 seconds, i tried after 15, but like the good car wreck mentality i had to try again and watch, but 2nd look was enough.  Fuckin Stevie has gone deaf ! There's no other explanation to me !!  I think the poor bastard has become dual-handicapped. I am not sure what they call people who have lost 2 of there sense's? Bi-senseless maybe ?? Anyway boy Wonder is now blind & deaf.  Worse - obviously doesn't care about his future or credibility. He's let himself become over produced i think by someone who has his sight and not his ear.  That Jonas Brothers Frankenstein is killing me inside an Stevie clearly has let his people over produce him. I have mad mad love for SW, but this night i hung my head low.

I missed the tribute segment, i will watch it, but was disgusted when i heard from friends that a

12 time nominated and Grammy winner didn't make the cut. Incredible musician Leroi Moore was

absent from the tribute. Sure might be a little biased there, but again - not wrong ! His band

announced his death on that very same stage just 6 months prior. I hope dmb never plays the

grammys. I hope any band/artist im a real fan of never does. Of course even i know thats silly,

gotta sell that music !

I have wondered how much i really wanna say about the Grammys ? I mean its just a tv show, im over it ! Spending too much time writting on it, only recognizes its existenance and they win. DONE !.
