Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant?

What bothers me is that a large group of people who watch this junk want to know and are impressed by the political positions of musical artists than they are by the political positions of their elected officials. Perhaps a generalization, but one fostered by the times we live in.

What happened to Dylan? One of the best CD's I have bought in the last few years. Can quite get myself to buy a Dixie Chicks CD but hope springs eternal. I’ll keep my political views to myself and use the ballot box to exercise them. I still find it hard to believe so many people have opinions and so few vote … go figure.

This thread has become very irrelavent to music.

They had to wait until she was dead to give Janis Joplin a Grammy. When were they ever relevant?

Wow, some of youse guys need a time out.

When my generation was younger most of the bands and artists that were my favorites were speaking out against the war in Vietnam.

Now we have the Vietnam of the new millenium. Thousands of our young folks die for midieval folk most of which haven't got the courage to stand up for themselves.

I'd like to see our current administration honor those who've already died by bringing the rest home before they have an opportunity to die for basically nothing.

These folks in the middle east have been fighting amongst themselves since Jesus walked the earth and before.
When will we learn that we cannot be the world's cop?

Just imagine if the BILLIONS of dollars that have been spent on this fruitless war had been spent here at home.

Meanwhile the Arabs and big oil have thier last laugh at our expense. Exxon/Mobil posts record profits on the backs of American consumers, and our administration has sold out to big business. LOL even Chevron had to change the name of their largest tanker from "Condoleeza Rice" to "Altair Voyager" Condoleeza Rice sat on Chevron's board for years.

Look closely at what your goverment wants you to believe today. "Weapons of Mass Destruction", .....they're weren't any.

Now we border on a police state where there are terrorists on every corner, under every bridge and in every back yard. Our goverment has a policy totally based on fear. Common sense and personal responsibility have taken flight.

Wake up folks, before it is REALLY too late.

Best,

Paul :-)
