Watched the MTV awards that night

I watched most of it. I'm an old fart but enjoy music of most any genre. While I hadn't listened to much of what I heard on the show before last night, one artist "the Weekend" really put on a fantastic performance. Find it somewhere and listen to it. I don't think that you'll be disappointed and just maybe you'll listen a second time, as I did, because he was that good(imho).

Ghosthouse, thanks for "A Closer Listen" I looked it up and thought it looked familiar. Looked in my favorites and there it was, 21 from the top, and I forgot it was there. It's good to refresh the brain every now and again...

Everyone should do themselves a favor and listen to non english lyric based music for awhile. Even music with no lyrics from a different culture. It's not asking for much of a sacrifice but to immerse yourself in it could prove revelatory.

Since my ears have been opened there's no going back to the same gruel.

All the best,
Nonoise

Since it was a long time ago, it's easy to forget that a viewing of the Grammy's from the mid-to-late 60's and into the 70's, when Rock & Roll was firing on all 8 cylinders, will show that the awards often went to the middle-of-the-road Pop "entertainers" (The 5th Dimension, Kenny Rogers & The 1st Edition, Bobby Goldsboro, Neil Diamond, etc.), not the groundbreaking artists of the day (Hendrix, Zappa, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, etc.). Thus it has always been, and shall be forever more!

The highlight was Kanye West announcing his run for president in 2020.
