No don't misunderstand me, I'm not upset at all> and I do get your sense of humour - its just that you can't make personal insults. Even though I think we can insult each other all day and still talk like normal people, it just sets bad precedents for others and can easily be taken out of context.

Oh trust me.....I'm not all that influential.

Also, do you not see how some of things you say and the way you word can be construed as insulting? Pot meet kettle.

Neither one of you answered my question though.

I, unlike tanner, didn't say that i know more than them, just that they are a joke. As is, well, the music industry in general.

I'm going to side with tanner on this one. See all of grammy winning pop/pop country/pop bullpoop for the last umpteen years. Yes, it's a joke.

Hurray!!

Honestly though, don't you guys remember when Homer threw his Grammy away and then the kid who found it didn't want it either? They are notoriously bad. Especially when it comes to rap. I mean, I know some rap experts and they certainly would not appreciate the fact that Eminem has 15 Grammys.

But hey, if Eminem is your thing, don't let me rain on your parade. I think this chick is great

Of course I do. But you must also realize that if someone as smart and good looking as me was some how able to NOT be arrogant that it would be a miracle on par with turning water into wine?

Good point. Anything outside of basic Pop music is ignored by the Grammies, and so should the artists that appeal to the specific genres.

Also, who really cares about awards anyway? Do you think when David Bowie was writing that crazy poop in Berlin he was doing it because he had an award in mind?

I agree with that stance as well. Most media related items that win awards seem to be awful.

You seem very bored. You should blog for the wild part-time, since our blogger is mia for the most part. You could blog for a team actually headed for the playo... oh wait.. they suck too.

I am pretty bored haha, I'm just listening to tunes waiting around for the kids to finish their bath so I can pick up the phone and Call Saul.......The Coyotes don't play till Saturday either!!!

For sure. Is it really all that arrogant to say you're smarter than the Grammys? I also think I know more than most five years olds, but I'm a grown man, it seems obvious that it would be so. If aren't deaf, and you have heard more than one song in your life, you probably qualify to vote for the Grammys.

I will say this: Low should have been on my top ten list. It was an unacceptable omission.

No but it does seem rather arrogant to jump down other peoples throats for not liking the same music as you.

David Bowie made music? I thought was just an actor in that fantastic movie the Labryrinth.

That was never my intention. I maybe went a little overboard on one guy, but he put forth a very bad argument that was based on commercialism. Honestly, that offended me more than his musical tastes.

The point that musical tastes should never offend anyone period.

Whereas I may agree with your opinion, we have established that music has no standard as we cannot trust institutions tasked with awarding music. Therefore we have agreed that music is all opinion and taste, so imo when somebody attempts to get a rise out of you it is up to you to respectfully disagree with his opinion and move on.

Yeah I would not say they were all good, but to each their own....I should say I'm a big pre-1980 Bowie Fan, specifically when he had the Spiders from Mars line up.
