The Grammys

       I turned the Grammys on last night about 30 minutes in to it. I used to enjoy watching some of the performances and the presentations. But the Grammys have become sooo predictable and boring. Why are all these televisions show stars introducing the acts? What have they got to do with music and the Grammys? Except of course, that every body wants to be a rock star and this is the closest some of them will ever come. Some of these actors who have started bands, did a cd and toured (Keanu Reeves) need a reality check. Stick to acting.

      But even the performances are nothing but show. I like a little show but when it overcomes the talent, it is too much. The one thing that really bugged me but was not surprising was the big deal about Amy Winehouse. She was rewarded for acting like a loser. I like her voice and I think she has talent but she should not be treated like royalty because she is a drug addict and went to rehab. To tell you the truth, there are ALOT of musicians struggling out there who have one hundred times her talent and don't act like total idiots. I like the quote that came from Keith Richard. He said,  "Amy should get her act together." Keith was a long-time junkie, but it is true that back when he started doing drugs we were more ignorant about it. That is not an excuse but now we really know what they do so people who allow themselves to become addicts have more information but do it anyway.  That is really stupid especially in a competitive field such as music. If Amy Winehouse wants a little motivation she could end up looking like Keith Richards.
