Title: The Grammy's these days

It probably doesnt mean what it use to, to win a  grammy today. Have you heard the people that they give those things to these days.

it never meant anything. Assigning a rating to something subjective like art or music is just stupid.

That's not to say that it wasn't kind of weird/ funny when Jethro Tull won over Metallica in '89.

You've just trashed the basis of 100% of my leisure time. Where's the nearest bridge?

I really hope that you would not let the half-assed opinion of some internet weenie ever affect how you spend your leisure time.

I'm curious though, do you think you enjoy the math/ statistics part of making top-whatever lists more than the actual music itself? I say this as a person who has spent countless hours driving around to junk shops/ thrift store looking for vinyl, and now that I have moved beyond that I can see that it was always about the HUNT, and the music was secondary. Shit, I bought albums that I never even listened to.

I think "The Grammies" should be an award given to the best drug dealers.






Or the cutest, most delightful grandmothers.



Or if there was an old lady who was both of those things, she would obviously be a shoo-in.

Depends on the music. And I AM one of those internet weenies.
