Did someone just say that the Dixie Hicks are "hot looking"? Compared to what? Neil Young?
Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant?
It seems to me the Grammy's have never recovered from the introduction of the MTV Music Awards. The MTV Music Awards came out of the gate with two objectives:
1. To modernize the format of music awards and shock the audience.
2. Provide a new stage for Rappers and Hip-Hop music.
This was a combination that became highly successful for MTV. At first the Grammy's tried to remain above the fray and put on a classy show, however over time to compete they've became just another MTV type music award. Which leads to the question - are the Grammy's still relevant? Do you look forward to watching the show every year and if so; why?

Beemer, You are so very wrong. Ask the Kurds if there were Weapons of Mass Destruction! Thousands upon thousands died when Chemical Ali used them on them. Or perhaps they merely dreamed that there were thousands of dead lying in the streets?! (I assume you are one of those who think the Holocaust never happened too, right?!) And, the reason why Iraq is not Vietnam is that Vietnam was a civil war. Iraq was liberated from one of the worst dictators ever. Ammensty Internation states that Saddam killed over a million of his own people. Not counting the people who died in the two wars against Iran and Kuwait that he started. Please get your facts straight. Please read this: Perhaps you should wake up, before you vote for another Clinton, who administration will once again bury their heads in the sand when we are attacked again and again and yet again, and they do nothing to protect us! |
Paul - "When will we learn that we cannot be the world's cop?" May I suggest to you that it's a little more than being the world's cop. This war was not about Iraqi WMD. What most Americans don't realize is that this war is a religious and cultural war, which actually begin in 1979 with the declaration of Islamic Jihah by the Aytollah Khomeini in Iran. America's proactive engagement in this fight began on September 12, 2001. We are fighting a war of ideology that only happens to be based in Iraq, but in point of fact is taking place all across the globe. Our enemy (Islamic Fundamentalism) is determined to destroy America and our allies. If we fail in Iraq and run like we did from Viet Nam in 1975 and Lebanon in '83, we will further embolden AQ, Hezbolah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Iran, Syria, Sudan et. al, enabling them to attack our interests to a far greater extent than what we saw in 2001. Hopefully, we've learned from the mistakes made by the Flower Power generation and we won't turn Iraq into a Viet Nam. If we are smart we won't run when the going gets tough and meet our obligations and acheive our objectives. If we aren't smart and follow the course set out by anti-war activists we will suffer a far greater threat than was realized on 9/11. If you don't believe in what I tell you, I have a recommendation. Read Bridgette Gabriel's book entitled "Why They Hate Us." |
