      <![CDATA[I make no claim to being an authority on the quality of music, but I couldn't help but notice how much criticism was leveled at the Grammy performers by the majority of professional critics (and most of the commenters on discussion forums) for a lack of talent. Taylor Swift's label even had to publicly come to her defense.

      <![CDATA[So far, Derek's second and Chris', but sociology and economics play an even greater role in what gets popular now.<br>
<br>
Classical musical skill and the first real youth culture coincided in the late 60's and early 70's. Soon, other factors messed up that often awesome brew.<br>
<br>
I make some mad condemning recordings that extol violence in general and especially violence against prostitutes getting outside help they don't really need.<br>
<br>
Speaking to the locals, you abandon the alloys that made your metallurgy world-renowned at your own peril and generally sound like some dreck from anywhere with no bargaining power.

My favs are "Smitty's Keeps it Light, and Smitty's Makes it Bright", "don't confuse Turner Dairy with Turner Diary, we make milk not race wars" and his adaption of the Rob Base hit "I got a used car, that I want to sell, you don't like, so then drive a lemon."

      <![CDATA[Marty, people do go on pilgrimages to see Green Day, you just can't do it year round like you could with the Grateful Dead. Instead there are hundreds of good bands that comingle their touring schedules so that folks are never without some concert to go to.<br>
<br>
The Talking Heads (or at least David Byrne) are very much alive and they/he even come to Memphis once in a while and I just saw Bono and Edge on Elvis Costello's show.<br>
<br>
Grammys are given to artists that produce recorded music for the profit of recording companies.
