~ though it has been a couple of days, we are still tired of hearing the question of whether or not the grammy awards are given to acknowledge important contributions to music or just to acknowledge a high volume of sales. yearly, this question appears, in every corporate awards show; yearly, the people posing it feel as though they have discovered an original viewpoint. however, in a study unscientifically conducted by the angry red planet, it has been determined that the people who actually give a durn about the grammy awards – either watching them, worrying about them, talking about them – are exactly the same people that value the music that brings in lots of money. it is amazing that anyone is surprised when drollery wins awards, considering the award show itself is drollery. anyone who thinks that a freaking television show somehow should set higher standards are the biggest fools, because the show itself is an aspect of the low standards of entertainment. regardless, eminem is a punk-ass piece of crap.
