Dear Recording Academy AKA The Grammys (A musical rant)

[reprobayt]

When you look back on 2007, I hope you realize that people will shake their heads when they look at your major awards.

Dixie Chicks...a very good album.

Five-time Grammy winning album including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year? Over Mary J Blige, Gnarls Barkley, Corrine Bailey Rae, James Blunt, Red Hot Chili Peppers & John Mayer just to name a few? Puh-leeze!

Oops...I think your politics are showing. Just one man's opinion.

Glad I renounced watching the Glammies ever again a few years back after their little stunt with the kids and their downloading "six million songs" anti-piracy lecture...the same folk who gave Milli Vanilli a Best New Artist award...

You do recall a few years ago back when they were just getting off the ground they were kicked off an Atlanta morning show for having Dixie in the band name?

Me thinks it has everything to do with the fact that Rick Rubin produced their album also.

didnt hurt, but cant shake the feeling they wouldnt have had the megasweep they had if Kerry was President right now...

As seen elsewhere, the biggest sympathy awards win since Liz Taylor won an Oscar for Butterfield 8...

As said above, quite glad I permanently stopped bothering with the Grammies after their anti-download stunt a few years ago...

I am so glad I decided sleep was way more important last night. I am sorry I don't even like what they have been over playing on the radio of the new Dixie Chicks album.

Oh, the Grammys sucking is really nothing new. Every year they pick another past-their-prime act to give a blowjob to. I mean, seriously. Look back on Grammy winners through the years and it's a grade-A collection of "what the FUCK were they thinking?!" I mean, the Chili Peppers? Last I checked they were shamelessly ripping off Tom Petty, and they get beaucoup Grammys for it?!
