The Grammys are SO COOL!!!

So have you heard? Grammy viewability is at an all time low and the actual viewership was 2nd lowest all time ever. But the big question is why is anyone surprised and why does anyone care? Well here's why I care. The music industry sucks bad, that's why. Of all the pomp and bloat associated with stardom, no reward show is more saturated with it then the Grammys. Here's why according to me. The Grammys rewards pop artists. Pop artists cater to the mass public. The mass public loves the idea of the pop artist but doesn't care about the actual music content. So, the more exposure a pop artist gets, or the more "novel" the music appears to be, the more sway the artist has over the public thus bolstering album sales. It might not be that way, but the Grammy's rewards artists for doing nothing more than achieving a one-hit wonder status. Ooooh! Best new Artist! They're so unique! They'll change the music landscape! Next year, nobody is going to be listening to the same music. Nobody is going care that Green Day, after boozing and toking for 20 years has finally decided to voice a political opinion. Nobody is going to care thabout the Tsunami Relief All-Star Bozo-Fest. The point is, is that nobody cares.

Have you heard the new Green Day? I can't believe you watched the Grammy's. I can only conclude that you like Usher, and Valtrex.
