What the F&#$

I am sorry, but it is time to rant. I realize that following a ranting post, done by Stock none the less, will not only take away from the excellence of our blog, but will also reveal my ineptness as a writer. In this case however, I feel that it has to be done.
As most of you don't know, as you shouldn't since they suck, the 48th annual Grammy awards were randomly awarded again tonight. And once again, Because of U2's popularity (which I must say is much more deserved than that given to Kelly Clarkson and John Legend, which by the way sounds like the perfect name for a porn star) they received the most bingo balls and thus, as our statistical probability genius Paul could've told us, won the most awards. Truly great artists, Bruce Springsteen for instance, once again received the obligatory, one bingo ball, hence his winning only one Grammy.
True music fans such as you gentlemen, who appreciate the humorous genius of Warren Zevon and the blinding truth of Bob Dylan, can take comfort in the fact that Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Queen, arguably three of the greatest bands of all time, were never nominated for a single Grammy. It wasn’t until twenty years after their prime that they received the recognition they so deserved. So know that Kelly Clarkson…err…John Legend…err…Destiny’s Child…wait are you frickin’ kidding me???
Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know what I thought of the Grammy awards (which, by the way is short for Gramophone Awards, significantly discrediting them if you ask me)
Later
Post Script
Those bastards couldn’t get anything right…even when they were right, they were wrong. The one thing I took brief comfort in was that the White Stripes won an award for their great new album, Get Behind Me Satan, then I saw they received it for best alternative album. Shit, are these guys kidding? Past winners of this award include Coldplay and Radiohead. Europop if you ask me. Meg White and her massive melons could kick the shit out of everyone in those bands, and throw in Gwyneth Paltrow to boot. The best thing to come out of Detroit since the Pinto does not deserve to be lumped into a group with those girly-men

    You are incredibly in touch. Can I get an Amen! Woooooooh (ala Little Richard). Stripes Rock. U2 sucks. What more needs to be said.

    I'll tell you this much...I started to realize last year, and total realized this year that the gramophonies are awards for music that I largely don't care about, for people I really don't care about, by people I care even less about.

    Once again, the oldtimers get it right on. F yeah. Yeah.

    Alright. This post is a month old. I check this crap everyday to see what's been going on, and what do I find. Nothing. That is right. Nothing. I've been waiting all week just so this last post would reach the one month threshold before I said anything. For a while I thought you might surprise me, but nope. Nothing. NOthing. Nada. Honestly, there's a whole world of stuff out there you can write about. Write about, Ben Folds, or about China's plot for world domination, or calculus, or hot chicks. I don't care. It just really bothers me that you all would go to the touble to make this nice website and then let it go unused for so long. The world needs to know your thoughts on life. Seriously. I think you underestimate the audience you had been reaching. Just do it. You know you want to.
