I don’t think I have ever watched any kind of awards show, beauty pageant, RRHOF banquet, or other sort of “entertainment” where people I don’t give a shit about applaud other people I don’t give a shit about for doing something I don’t give a shit about. This + infinity. (Although I admit to having occasionally enjoyed them in a drunken, sarcastic haze. But having cleaned up a bit I tend to leave award shows in the same bin as "spent uranium rods".) Just a couple of thoughts: first, if anybody thinks that it's only recently that the Grammies/Oscars/WesminsterFuckingDogtrials were won by corporate shills, you're seriously mistaken; second, I don't spend much time trying to <grok> what the young folks are listening to. When I was 17/27/37 the LAST thing I wanted to see was an *understanding* 62 year-old "digging the scene, man". It's absolutely fine that they have their own music -- the less rawk-like the better! Human progress necessarily means that "rock and roll/has got to go". My mortality doesn't mean the world should come crashing to an end (i.e. I'm not a Shitevillian ffs).

I can't remember if it was in shitetown or on facebook, but I read folks complaining about there still being Prince tributes even though he's been dead for a while. Like fuck, nothing is enjoyable.
Also, Billie Eilish's brother's girlfriend is hot. I'd watch four hours of the grammies just for a whiff...

No, I am legitimately hurt. I can't believe daved thinks I regularly spin Paul McCartney albums. I've been insulted a lot in my life. But I've never been accused of being a Macca listener. I'm now questioning all my life choices I feel like I need to go buy three copies of Ringo's Roto Rooter or whatever that album is called. Not you ya chowder head. Those idiots over there.

I’m not being facetious. Honestly, who gives a fuck about celebrities being celebrities? Watching paint dry must be more exciting than seeing what fashions the overdressed glitterati are pimping. Instead of laughing at the SHites bemoaning the current state of popular entertainment, we should be laughing at them for actually watching the awards shows in the first place. Last time I watched Don Henley was the big winner so that tells you how long it’s been.

What’s even more hilarious is the outcry from Lana Del Rey fans saying she was robbed! Another vapid corporate shill who obviously failed to make a bigger contribution. Dunno if this is parody or serious. Every artist who signs a contract is a corporate shill.

Lol, I know. I just needed an excuse to use that "Ringo's Roto Rooter" title

I would like to formally apologize for drunk posting and possibly offending all the Billie Eilish fans here. She’s dark and edgy and homeschooled, so none of this is her fault. Did I mention she’s only seventeen?

I just can't handle a bunch of idiots who use Egypt Station as some kind of gauge of greatness shitting all over stuff.

With all due respect to Billie and Lana, I thought Bruce Springsteen made the best album of 2019 and I was stunned that he was totally ignored. But after watching parts of that debacle last evening I'm glad he wasn't there to perform between Lizzo and Lil Nas X. My EXACT point!@ The INSANE hype of this one artist over the last several months has been nauseating to say the least.. Big corp wants to invest big coin in this artist that they can make a cash cow out of for the next decade.. Reeks of it.. I’ll take the bloody who anyway over any of this stuff as album of the year So, basically, we're entitled to our opinion as long as it's just like yours. If we disagree, then we shouldn't participate in this thread. Did I get this right? BTW, I think Billie Eilish is worth our attention, but let's see what she has to say in 5 or 10 years and if she is still around. Yes, that's how it is here in the States, except you forgot the part that if you don't completely agree with what they say, you're racist, sexist or some other buzzword of the Woke generation. People can't just agree to disagree anymore or accept that others may have a differing opinion. Now it's all "I'm right, and if you don't agree you're (insert buzzword here)"... Get rid of the noise machines, strip it to just guitar and vocals with real drums and what is it?? NADA

Ugh, you are all usually pretty cool but Billie Eilish is just horribly derivative pap. And she’s a mouseketeeresque invention of her shrewd stage parents. Disappointed. Does she piss off the SHites? Good enough for me.

Good enough for me. Yeah, that’s fair. Can you imagine the outrage over there if she had a song titled “Fuh You”?

I'd like to just see her cover Fuh You. It would look like that old movie Scanners over there.

Anyone wanna see if there was a pearl clutching thread over the Gnarls Barkley “Fuck You”?
