Here are the Grammy Nominees-
Record of the Year:
“Redbone” — Childish Gambino – I’ve never heard of the record or the artist. I listened to the song. Never heard it before.
“Despacito” — Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber – I’ve never heard of the record or the artist. I listened to the song. Never heard it before.
“The Story Of O.J.” — Jay-Z – Heard of Jay Z, never heard the record before.
“HUMBLE.” — Kendrick Lamar – I’ve never heard of the record or the artist. I listened to the song. Never heard it before.
Winner- 24K Magic — Bruno Mars – Heard of Bruno Mars. Never heard the song before. It sounds like a throwaway song from the 80s. B side of a Will Smith song.
Did any whites win. I hear the fix was in.
“You’re out of touch
I’m out of time
But I’m out of my head
When you’re not around”
Grammys? Oh, that racist show? Fuckem.
Stopped watching tv 20+ years ago, the left uses it to push there ideology to the masses.
Pop music is total shit now. Rap isn’t music. It’s a psychopathic stream of consciousness with the dominating topics being homicide, misogyny, and dick size, which are, apparently, the artistic staples of the negro, beaner, and meth head white trash communities now.
I got some Redbone for ya. Lizzie Warren might like it , too.

If you haven’t heard the Justin Bieber song you must be living on Mars. That said most of the songs have words that can hardly be called lyrics if you can make them out at all.
Bruno Mars has catchy songs and a lot of talent.
The last music I actually paid to buy had the voice of George Jones or maybe Merle Haggard in it. And it was actual music. These days I’m more into listening to the Statesmen or The Stamps quartets, or the original Chuck Wagon Gang among several other 50’s / 60’s Southern Gospel groups with awesome harmonies.
Per my above comment, the answer is “not enough” (to “how out of touch am I”).
You win the Grampys!
(me too)
Even though my HD antenna would allow to watch their self-aggrandizement award show for free I find myself seeking other, more productive things to do with my time like counting the fibers in my carpet, or keeping track of how many times my two dogs fart and then trying to figure out if the sound of them being let go relate to the food or the other dog following the first one into a fart-competition.
I must live on mars because I have never heard Justin Bieber’s song, actually I’ve never listened to any of his songs. If I listen to the radio it’s turned to the classic music stations.
I pay no attention to this crap thats produced nowdays. I heard a couple of the names before but thats because its almost unavoidable if you scan the news daily.
Anyway I ignore them because I still prefer to listen to music instead.
I didn’t watch. Thought it would just be another Trump Hate Fest. Was I right?
One song had over 400 million views, the other over 600 million. Holy shit.
You know there’s way more talented people on YT starving for 100 views.
Anyways, my wife and kids and distant family listen to 21 Pilots constantly. They even sing along with it word for word. It’s horrid. At Christmas I got up, threw my cards on the table, said something like, “I’m tired of listening to this absolute shit” and went to bed.
The only Grammy’s I care about are both in heaven!
If you can’t whistle it, it ain’t music..
Here’s the only Redbone I know about:

Ask anyone to hum their favorite rap song. ha!
There’s out of touch and then there’s blissfully out of touch, and thats where I am.
CBS ran a show of Mars singing his album. It is all vulgar, explicit songs about the ways he wants to perform sex on women.
How “woke” and sympathetic to abuse victims to give it album of the year.
Our local talk radio morning show guys said it was anyone but white night
I’m still trying to figure out where the brain dead idiots who listen to tripe like this get the money to listen to tripe like this…
The big money marketing mavens shove this trash down the throats of the young who don’t know better. They have them convinced this trash is edgy and hip, if you want to be dialed in then this is what you need to spend your money on.
I finally got a car with a cd player.
Good thing,all of my Pink Floyd cassettes crapped out.
I hit the Cheapo’s for whatever they had,
Marty Robbins next.
Hymie
This garbage is turned out with industrial efficiency. Trying to find something that actually shows some talent and imagination takes dedicated searching.
I heard a music story about a band that outperformed Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Katie Perry, and all this untalented wrecks COMBINED: Depeche Mode. (I think there may have been a couple more that they beat as well)
That’s right—— an 80s band went on tour last year and out billed money wise all those talentless hacks.
The blog author said that millennials/ teens whatever flocked to see them. Why?
One reason is because their music today is so terrible.
With autotune, even _I_ can sound like a profeshunul musique artiste.
Absolutely disposable leftist curse-rhyming crap.
And why is hitlery making cameos on commie award shows rather than rotting in prison?
The Grammys feature the winners as determined by the losers! The trouble is they are interchangeable!
Here is the real version of Despacito. Nearly 5 billion views! Fun song, great video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJQP7kiw5Fk
Apart from having seen this a couple of months ago I certainly know nothing about current music.
Can’t figure out why it’s soooo popular.
😉
Leon is the only Redbone I’ve heard about.
None of this modern crap is worth listening to.
Ranger Doug’s Cowboy Corral on Sirius, that’s where the good old stuff can be found
I am out of touch with current music too. Not something I find worth listening to,
Probably none of the performers or winners know what a gramophone is or how it works.
I understand the low-IQ ghetto dweller going for this crap, but why the white kids in the suburbs?? Anyone have a theory?
As I read through your list, I hit 100% agreement.
I’m still stuck between why we let them define the culture – it’s a sewer – and how to take the reins on it.
I think I might recognize a couple of their names from the Smoking Gun sight?
@ LCD, that’s a catchy and slightly languid tune. It doesn’t translate well.

What gets me is the overwhelming appreciation of Patti Lupone’s performance. I just watched it – it is nice but not particularly groundbreaking. It must simply be that everything else truly sucks when compared to a decent Broadway singer with an orchestra.
@RosalindJ – kinda like ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’. Sexy, creative, and open to shock and anger from those who search for offense. 😉
Two words:
Country Western
Lowest ratings ever for the Grammys.
“Grammys?!”
Weren’t they the stars of “Golden Girls?” 😕
Missed the Grammys on purpose. Sick of the leftist political assault by doped up amoral “music” stars. What’s defined as popular music and wins Grammys is either guttural garbage or idiot bot, earworm sludge.
I stopped listening to the radio in my mid-twenties. A lot of this stuff now sounds like Italian disco.
I like music, all music, from what was called long hair, to swing, to big band, to march, to country, to gospel, to Motown, to beach , to surfer, to punk, to rock, to psychedelic rock, to metal, to heavy metal, to brass, to opera, I have performed a number of these types, rap is not music, it’s more akin to Haka war chants.
I don’t have a closed mind, I have a discretional mind.
I tuned in twice with the sound muted. I saw men and woman writhing and humping on stage with most woman in various stages of undress. I saw thugs with microphones in their hands. The second time I saw people giving ignorant mini-speeches about topics they know nothing about. Young people who know literally nothing about this nation or its history along with adults who just never got the hang of growing the f**k up. Though I didn’t hear them, I saw Sting and U2 participating in the Hate Trump Fest. Because, as we all know, non-citzens should always be listened to when bloviating about our country. Sigh.
