Anybody watch the Grammys tonight?

Rpeluso,
I am neither old nor white. Resorting to silly stereotypes reveals more regarding you than those you chose to castigate. Okay so as you state  you're "old and white" does this grant you the self righteousness to put down others who express a perspective different from your own. Some of us were turned off by the political rhetoric and said so. If you weren't that is also fine as it's a matter of choice.

Okay I will admit the '' street walker '' comment may have been a little too strong, but she is still talentless.     

It may be a stereotype, but go to any audio show and you're surrounded by older white guys.  And it's not like this is the first thread on Audiogon to lament the decline of Western civilization at the hands of young, non-white entertainers.  It's not really that surprising that there's an overlap.

Youth is wasted on the young. 😛

At one point in my life I listened regularly  to rap and hip hop but my tastes have changed (my wife still likes some hip hop occasionally). I find jazz exponentially more fulfilling and substantive,  just superior music but I admit this is just my personal opinion.  I have zero objection to what other music lovers enjoy,  taste is taste.  

It seems clear to me however that artists being celebrated for their musical/professional achievements is an entirely different matter than exploiting the setting/platform for tiresome political dogma.
