<font color="orange">I avoid watching awards shows. What is it about them? Take for instance the Grammy Awards. I call them "Vanity Awards". Behind the scenes a hand-full of 40-50 big money music moguls decide who is going to get what and how many.. congratulating each other.. "you vote for me in this category and that catagory and I'll give you this one and that one.." etc.
Then they sell the show to the networks who in turn sell advertising for commercials.
We end up seeing a circus variety of "employee/talent" who strut out on this "red carpet" with white veneer teeth, flash dress and gold jewelry. They perform their stuff, which is forced out on the market weather it is good or not.
The handful of power players who control the music business cook this dope, draw in the big-media hype needle and stick it right in our eyes all the way into our brains.
Meanwhile the employee/talent dance in the lights, sing and play in the bands, get interviewed and photographed.
The majority of these people are under tight, play for pay, non-disclosure contracts. They act like they love each other when they would love to eliminate their competition with a knife in the back or a bullet in the brain. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
The depth of their individual wealth is very shallow and the only reason they are where they are is either because of a combination of being in the right place at the right time and being seen by the right people, combined with who they know and who they blow, or they have someone, a rich family member or friend who they know who paid for them to play, produced them, to get them in the door.
They either have to Play for Pay or they Paid to Play. Combined with who they know and who they blow. Few exceptions.</font> [img]/images/graemlins/rant.gif[/img]
