I was a bit surprised by what looks like a general dislike by so many people for the Grammy awards.I don't follow it but I have a personal friend who gets nominated from time to time. So I have that connection.

For sure I find Kacey Musgraves Golden Hour does not fit into my concept of country. I don't personally care much for the Rap and Hip Hop genre, but it is a sizable part of the music business. Those folks deserve recognition as much as anyone else. As far as it being about money, it has always been about money one way or another.

I also wish there was more jazz and a greater variety of styles in general.

After I read the post here, I did a bit of looking around on the music news feeds to see what others had to say. I discovered the complaints that Jennifer Lopez, and not an African-American artist did the Motown tribute. That is beyond belief. So now non African-Americans can not sing Motown!!

We have truly become a polarized angry disconnected group of people in this country.

Cheers,

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
