Had The Grammys Gone God
The Examiner ^ | 1/29/14 | Joseph Speranzella

It is often pleasant to wish ourselves to a magical world where all is good. It's our "happy place" and I'm sure we all have one. Mine used to include music and I would anticipate "music's biggest night" as a high point in the year. At one time the Grammys was about music. But like MTV, it is not about music anymore, but rather theatrics and agenda.

There is a controversy over this year's broadcast about whether it was offensive to Christians. Not that anyone in the Academy of Recording Arts or the industry cares about offending anyone. Christians were offended and have found a defender of the faith in Contemporary Christian artist Natalie Grant. Grant was nominated for two Grammys Sunday and attended the ceremony only to leave early and tweet about it. Though she didn't mention a specific part she found ofensive she said...”(1 of 2) We left the Grammy's early. I've many thoughts, most of which are probably better left inside my head. But I'll say this:I've never been more honored to sing about Jesus and for Jesus. And I've never been more sure of the path I've chosen.” It has created a firestorm of both praise and hate for her and her cause.

The so-called “entertainment” industry is dominated by perverts.

Grammys, Emmys, Oscars, Nastys, Slimys, I don’t watch any of that crap. It’s just a lot of self-congratulatory BS.

"Not that anyone in the Academy of Recording Arts or the industry cares about offending anyone Christians."

Fixed that.

How comes it to be that you only post your own material?

How much money have you gained from this theft and what have you bought with it?
