The trick is not giving the slightest fuck about the Grammys.
Ah, if it was only just the Grammys. Unfortunately, it’s also the movies, sports, business and politics.
Every aspect of life, really.
Just look at Elon Musk holding a lottery for anyone who voted for a candidate of his choice. I don’t think I need to remind anyone that financial inducement to vote for a politician is highly illegal. Or at least it should be, don’t you think?
Or how about the lack of regulation for cryptocurrency, even though it was initially only popular among arms dealers, cyber criminals and paedophile rings. And as more people started to use it, and it surged in value, those arms dealers, cyber criminals and paedophiles sold their holdings to become legitimate, bonafide millionaires.
Maybe you’d be more interested in business, where that blood testing company Theranos hoodwinked investors out of billions and the company founder got a rap on the wrist. Politicians were heavily invested in the company and sat on its board. Did they get their money out first? Seems likely.
You could also look at how so many girls who go to Hollywood with stars in their eyes wind up in pornographic film shoots. Or the porn industry in general, where a creep like Ron Jeremy was outed for drugging women after being celebrated like a hero for decades. Reminds me of Jeffrey Epstein, who pimped out underage girls to millionaires and billionaires and then died mysteriously when he was about to spill his secrets. At least one British royal settled with an accuser in connection with Epstein.
And that’s just the states. It’s a lot darker in countries like India and Venezuela.
Ever heard of Surender the Cannibal? A place called Nithari, in Noida, India. Killed and ate a lot of young children.
He was released from jail last year, even though they found cooked human flesh in an oven at the place he resided with his employer, Moninder Singh Pander, who is very well connected with the police and politicians. There were chopped up body parts of the victims just thrown in a drain. Allegations of organ trade. All buried because some judge declared that there was a “lack of evidence”.
I used to live near there when I was in school. My 12-year-old dog went missing in that area. Sometimes, I wonder what happened to Biggles, as he was called.
Not saying stuff like that doesn’t happen in the states or Europe, mind you. There are an awful lot of people who go missing every year, especially children. The Madeline McCann case in Europe also troubles me.
Have you seen Sin City? Good movie, scary concept.
Just saying, there’s something rotten in the state of Denmark.
Or to get back on topic, something about Metallica being nominated in two separate years for two songs on a single album stinks to the high heavens.
