Award Shows are bullshit . We all know that . None more so than the Grammys ; with the possible exception of the ECMA's . It's not necessarily the hardworking people involved , the economic spin-offs or the own self-interests of certain manipulators . Award Shows are just bullshit . It's like throwing a party for yourself and your friends and calling it the World Series . It's Arrested Development .
Last night The Grammys MENTIONED that THE DOORS had been ' awarded ' a lifetime - whatever and then moved on breathlessly to , like , Justin Timberlake . Or K Fed ( whatever the fuck that is ) . THE DOORS were a great band .Great songwriters . Top gear front man . Just listen to Soul Kitchen . Even better than Ashley Simpson . Award Shows are bullshit .
However ... , we do recognize the awesome ness factor of young Gordie Sampson winning a Grammy for co-writing Jesus Take The Wheel , sung by the not- to -shabby Carrie Underalls .
By the by , don't forget to go online and vote JOEL PLASKETT EMERGENCY at ecma .com .bull/ . Just kidding .
