EDITORIAL:

If you don't know how I feel about awards shows, here's a refresher, "How far does it go until the Grammy's don't matter at all? Is it there already? It's almost like watching a live wire act where the performer is on a 3 foot wide wire, 2 feet from the ground with her/his manager, agent, lawyer and entire promotions company holding his/her hand. WHO CARES?" MN (ed. 18, Mar/06) - http://www.themusicalrevolution.com/weblog/monthly_newsletters/index.html

So, you can imagine that the farce that the current awards show season is becoming doesn't bother me at all.

Certain shows are expendable while others go on without a hitch. Certain stars stand up and be counted, "for the writers", at one show then creep in the next. The big shows have all of this speculation around them, all the time creating this pseudo-buzz. O....K!!!

Here's my (not so bold) prediction: The Gramaphones and the Academy Awards will go on WITHOUT A HITCH! AND. More idiots will watch them because they heard sooo much about them in the news. And the rest of us will just smile and read a book because it's all sooo transparent these days in the fakeR world of corporate entertainment.

So, there it is. My yearly "Award Show" rant. I know - silly isn't it. We got it (like) 20 years ago! But, here's where I promise a change.

Next year, I'ma gonna stage my own Music Awards Show -- to coincide with the Grammys too ;) The nominees will be actually picked by you, the people. The winners will be as well. And, the prizes will be 'actual legitimacy' - something that of all these corporate stars must be craving by now. YEAH! Do you feel that? LOL!

Love,
Mattyy
