And whats wrong with that? If you don’t like it produce your own Grammy type show.

Wait for the war. The protests have lasted almost a year. The ground war will be over in three days. For God sake let the human shields do there job before you complain. Better yet why don’t more stars go over to Baghdad like Sean Penn instead of show up at the Grammy’s?
What I want to see at the Grammy’s is for Richard gere to pull that gerbil out of his ass. And the stars arrest records, multiple marriage licenses and rehab bills. No wonders these people are against the war they are losers.
After the war is too fucking late. Innocent people will have already been murderedby our government. Get this through your fucking skulls, warmongers, we who oppose this war oppose it because we thnk it is not fucking justified. Winning or losing is completely irrelevant.
Thec Richard Gere story is a bogus urban legend and Gere is an actor anyway, not a musician. Do some muscians have arrest records, multiple marriages and rehab bills? Yeah, so what. May I remind you that the moron currently polluting the white House also has an arrest record and is a recovering alcoholic and cokehead.
Because I care so much what Susan Sarandon thinks about military action in Iraq.
Can Iraqi WOMD kill me, regardless of what she thinks?
O.K.
Carry on.
Wait a minute, I don’t think Susan Sarandon is up for a Grammy.
Maybe she’ll send crib notes to Celine Dion.
Knowing the Grammies, there’s a good chance Sarandon’s been nominated for “Best New Punk Band.”
Grammys.
Just for kicks I’d like to see one of the groups sing “open your eyes” by the lords of the new church updated for the impending war just to see what happens …
If that wouldnt raise hell nothing would …
Well now, tell the truth. Aren’t you more like to watch them now that you know Sheryl Crow might get her mic yanked?
Marketing. Damn is it special.
Aside from that, I hope that any artist who wants to say something anti-war isn’t scared off by this threat. I hope that they get on stage and say whatever they want to say, and I hope they have their mic yanked because it’ll make everone ask to hear it that much more.
Not to spoil a good rant… :rolleyes:
But maybe Matt Drudge shouldn’t be a good starting point for a rant.
From here
Thank God we can look forward to Sheryl Crow’s groovy commentary
Damn. I think I need to clean my fishtank then…someone let me know how it all shakes out ok?
My show wouldn’t sell any Pepsi. The award recipients would be entirely restricted to person who can either a) sing or b) play an instrument. I do not recognize a record turntable as a musical instrument. Not a commercially viable enterprise.
As to whats wrong? Hypocrisy is what’s wrong, for starters. All this stuff and nonsense about not being the appropriate time and place. The suits aren’t worried about stirring testimonials to patriotic fervor. A mawkish display of “support” for “our boys” is perfectly acceptable. Are these political statements? Of course they are!
Picture Karl Rove, Bush’s Eminience Greasy, getting the news that all of the Grammy recipients made ringing endorsements of US policy towards Iraq, and the crowd went wild with approval. Ever see an aging Republican at a desk having multiple orgasms and hyperventilating? Not a pretty sight.
There was a recent example, but memory fails (possibly due to a lifelong program of glaucoma prevention). Something similar to this, wherein a picture of GeeDubya was flashed on the screen and the audience responded intelligently. That response went down the memory hole, but you can bet your sweet ass it didn’t go unnoticed.
Mr. Rove knows that the electorate isn’t dominated by Dumbocrats or Reprobates, it is dominated by the Apathy Party, such that approximately 18% of the population actually makes the decisions. If the Stupified Center ever gets riled up enough to actually think and vote, there will be hell to pay.
I needn’t read any further.
That’s what I get for putting the punch line first. Doh!
Any comment on the hypocrisy of the Drudge Report? It seems the CBS suits are okey-dokey with stirring anti-war fervor from the ‘artists’.
Is there an ‘atta boy!’ for CBS???
Personlly, I couldn’t care less about what Avril Whatshername or Puff Diddy thinks about the war. I wouldn’t be watching the Grammys either way.
- My* Grammie made good pancakes…
She woulda kicked you outta the house if you spoke outta line or made a spectacle of yourself…
If I take the illustrious Spooje correctly, that is, if indeed he wonders whether Matt Drudge is full of shit, or whether he is full of shit… Is the bear Catholic, does the Pope shit in the woods?
C’mon, how hard would it be to holler SHAAAAAARRAAAAAAN!
Meh. They don’t deserve correct spelling.
Anyone remember when Dramamine ran a series of Radio Commercials awarding the Drammies, and the the Grammys protested and they added the tagline “Not related to the Grammys.”?
That was awesome.
