I only heard about it on my morning talk guy - apparently it was during the song “Happy.” ROFL

I could sense a total audience let down when they took a popular song and made it weird and incomfortable with these lies and idiots in hoodies.

I never watch the Grammys, ever. I think last time I watched was 1980 right before the MTV music Holocaust began which pretty much put an end to the quality of music for good once they found out the Democrat low IQ low info voter base would buy on videos alone. They basically exchanged image for sound which is just brilliant isn’t it when you are selling sound.

Hey look how cool this car looks.

But it has no engine and no wheels, that car don’t drive.

Yes but look how cool it looks, you should buy it.

OK.

That’s been the business model for the music industry for the past 34 years.

Please just be quiet and keep buying their products, attending their concerts, watching their movies and making them multimillionaires.

Right. If people would stop buying their cr@ppy songs, movies and going to their cr@ppy concerts maybe they would realize where they came from and no amount of money is going to be them respect, class or acceptance.Kenyne better be careful or he can watch himself crash and burn. We ALL can be replaced.

Music was sold on appearances in the decades preceding MTV as well.

Why should there be outrage? Outrage junkies are funny, they always want to know why other people aren’t taking to the streets or whatever (they’re always very vague on what they want, just “outrage” of some form), while sitting bored behind a keyboard. Meanwhile, really, who cares about some display of stupid at an award show? If it wasn’t for this guy demanding “outrage” I wouldn’t even know it happened. The most effective form of outrage is the shrugged shoulder, let the story die.

Where’s the pic of the reporterette attempting to paddle a boat in 3” of water while a guy walks by her and barely getting his ankles wet? Brian has hip boots for less than 2”

Yes you had people who sold on looks and image back then as well, but nowhere near what it is now. Back then if an artist sold on image and looks alone his credibility went down the tubes and their career was shot in a matter of a few years, people like Fabian, Elvis being an example. Elvis only came back in the 70s when he ditched the movies and recorded some good songs again. He would never have been able to do it otherwise. Today though they just go decades with this crap, decades and decades of corny crap music, and are constantly promoted as the greatest thing since the invention of music. Madonna being one example. I’ve never heard one single song that bitch has ever recorded that I like. Maybe only the song Borderline which was written by someone else like most of her music. But this is a woman who has based 100% of her career on videos, image and looks, NOTHING with music. Music is an excuse to show herself off. Granted a lot of crap was recorded back then as well and it sold, but nowhere near what it’s been in the past 34 years, now it is ALL image. I can’t even remember the last time I’ve heard a new song and said “Wow that is really good”. Some of the independent bands I’ve heard are good, but nowhere near what it use to be before the MTV Holocaust. The entire music industry from the early 1900s allll the way to 1981 consistently produced great songs and great music. When the MTV music Holocaust happened, that all stopped. Yes there has been a few good songs since 1981 but I cant really recall any of them at the moment, and we are talking 34 years. That’s why I call it a Holocaust because it has completely and utter laid to waste American music today. The talent is out there but the industry refuses to look because they don’t need to because they sell image not music and that is a shame because I really think music has a lot to do with the attitude of people today. They hear crap they act like crap.

NBC’s baby Brian won a Peabody for the lies in this report.

He’s a disgrace - and the stupid women he’s buttered up at NBC want to keep him... It’s so disgusting.
