I think that you wanted to say chaos, not anarchy.

Wasn't everyone supposed to boycott the Grammys to show contempt for the RIAA?

I'd probably play Angry Birds, that's a boring-ass song right there. I understand it was a hit and all when I was still shiatting my drawers, but c'mon.

Maybe Glenn Campbell should have done, "Soup is good food."

So their society is collapsing because of excessive debt.
Clearly the only solution is more lending and "investing."

/Money is the drug, banks are the dealers.
//Nobody's going after the dealers
///Governments who keep borrowing don't represent the people's interests
////Please collapse my society and pick my bones, mister international banker man

I was tweeting during it. It's a terrible farking song, an unholy union of white trash and disco, and Campbell can't sing for shiat.

The severity of one's situation is relative to one's experience. It is a mistake to assume that any particular person would feel deeply about events that are happening on the other side of the world and that have no effect on him.

So to the people who are irate about the tweeting, you have to understand that they are in fact feeling those emotions. Now, you can say that the pain and anger they are feeling towards others is minuscule compared to the pain and suffering of others in much worse predicaments, but to the person who is feeling the emotions the contrast is lost.

Maybe we should be thankful our society is so stable as to allow us to fret over such trivialities, but those trivialities are still quite real to us.

It's a big deal now, but give it time and this will fade from memory.

Into is one word, subby

Who are the Rhinestone Cowboys, and why should we be upset about people texting while they perform?

The wave of nausea I felt during Rihanna's screaming singing was worse than any massacre Assad could dream up. I made it through two minutes of the Grammies before watching Law and Order reruns

I care about neither the Greek and Syrian problems nor the Grammy's. This probably makes me the worst person ever. Probably worse than Hitler.

I was waiting for them to bring out the corpse of Whitney Houston dangling from wires like a mexican marionette but like my wish for a sniper taking a shot at Beiber last year it never happened.

For whatever reason I was thinking it was the performer's job to entertain the guests, not the guest's job to entertain the performer. Good thing this article was here to set me straight.

If you're rude to someone with Alzheimer's and he doesn't remember it the next day, is it still wrong?

Rhinestone Cowboy isn't exactly his best work, but Campbell was an extremely talented guitarist, and had a slew of great songs, including Wichita Lineman (written by Jimmy Webb), which is one of the greatest songs ever written.

I am much sadder about Glen Campbell than about Whitney Houston. Here is a man who still wants to perform, but is having it taken away from him. Whitney was a crackhead who threw her talent away.

Campbell, who revealed in June that he has Alzheimer's disease, delighted many with a lively performance of the hit.

Go ahead and pick the low hanging fruit. I thought, considering his diagnosis, that his performance was pretty remarkable.

How come nobody's talking about Brian Wilson performing with the Beach Boys again. I don't care how good they may or may not have been, it's significant that Brian Wilson was performing with the Beach Boys again

Precision Boobery: It's a big deal now, but give it time and this will fade from memory.

What you did. I see it.

/what were we talking about again?

Over-and-above GC's singing (which you all can take or leave, even when he was in his prime), the guy was a top-tier session guitarist who could play what the producer wanted *right now*, and so was very much in demand in the LA studios early in his career. He also had more credentials as a professional actor that most Farkers, I'd say.

TEXTING: I just don't care. Pop music has embraced a model where the music (in performance) is way louder than any audience chatter, and audiences aren't expected to "simply listen." Contrast that with the classical world, where the whole listening business--and not distracting other audience members around you--is what it's all about. I don't see how the industry/Grammy folks (pop/rock contingent) can have it both ways about this.

BEACH BOYS: I have no idea what was "live," what was lip-sync, what was heavily processed, and so on. Rock/pop sells itself on a certain "realness" and "honesty," and then we get this nonsense. Also, old people playing "youth music" just seems embarrassing to me.

While I'm blathering: Adele is a capable-enough singer, but she strikes me as a mid-late 1960s Lulu singing Grace Slick rather than Something New. Good wishes to her, nonetheless, though I doubt she'll be getting a big Campbell/McCartney salute 40-50 years from now.

//rant over; YMMV

give me doughnuts: You should have sen the dump I took while Nicki Minaj was on stage. It was almost as big a pile of shiat as her performance.

How do you know? Youtube it? Ha!
