Last Sunday brought the Grammy Awards or as they might be known from now on: The Adele Show. Coincidentally, never has someone been such a beautiful singer and such an ugly talker. Her singing voice could break hearts but it’s her speaking voice that makes English teachers cry.
Moving on to other music news, Rick Santorum (I bet no one has ever segued from Adele to him before) scored a much coveted endorsement from the band Megadeth last week as they picked him as their man for the White House. So this clinches the highly-sought after “80’s hair metal band” Republican vote. Which mostly just consists of members of Megadeth.
One of my favorite bands of all time, The Foo Fighters, won a Grammy Sunday as well…No real joke here, I just like them…Okay, one joke: A Nirvana drummer, a Foo Fighters singer, and a guy who’s gained approximately 200 pounds in middle age walk into a bar, the bar tender says “Hi, Dave Grohl.”
Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, etc. Apparently the best way to be a super-popular female singer is to dress like a very unpopular high school girl.
Asshole of the Week: Our returning champion, Chris Brown, who has by now won the title of Alabama Liberal’s MPA (Most Persistent Asshole) got into a bit of a dust-up this week. Apparently, some weren’t very happy he was the only person to perform twice at the Grammys and won one of the major ones, and he reacted to this by throwing a Twitter fit capped off with the illiterate all-caps “HATE ALL YOU WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY NOW THATS THE ULTIMATE FUCK OFF!!!!” I know, I was as shocked as you when I heard that Brown reacted very poorly to a situation that could have gone much better had he ignored it or just not exploded in a petulant, conceited rage. Ike Turner Jr. just can’t stop himself from being one of the most unlikable people on the planet, but somehow some people still like him, and by some people I mean those that usually say “Rihanna had it coming cuz she’s stuck up.” It takes a special kind of asshole to have unlikable fans as well.
great one!
