Awarding Art
I don't even know where to start. I've been slacking on this blog thing. I don't really know why. Maybe it's because I have a lot to say, or maybe I don't. The truth is that i have a few unfinished blogs that i have not posted. One about the golden globes, and a general award show season wrap-up. But who really cares about my opinion? Well maybe that's the point. You can read here about my opinion and then agree or disagree. So here we go.
Award Show Season Wrap-up.
First I would like to say that I hate award shows, but if you want to have a conversation with someone you should at least know what is going on. It's very hard for me to watch these shows for a few reasons. First, everything I like never wins. Second, you can't award art. Movies, music and performance is all opinion. If someone can run faster than you - they win. That's it. So how can you award art. You can't. but they do.
I was happy this year that a lot of the people that won, I respected and liked. Finally the right people are winning. But still you have people that don't really deserve the acknowledgement.
Golden Globes. Whatever. No writers and lame show with lame people giving their opinions.
Grammy's. I am very pleased that Herbbie Hancock won album of the year. I have been a fan of his for a long time, and am very happy that he is getting the acknowledgement for changing the world of jazz, from being this decrepit fossil of a history lesson, to an evolving life form, that moves forward with time.
Does anyone else find Amy Winehouse boring? Why am I supposed to like her music? 'Cause it has a retro-'60's-soul vibe? If you want to listen to retro '60's soul, listen to Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings!!
And I'm happy, Flight of the Conchords won best comedy album. yay!
Oscar's. My 2 favorite movies of the year were 'No Country for Old Men' and 'There Will Be Blood'. So I was happy about the outcome of these awards.
In other news.........
The Entertainment Resistance is rehearsing like crazy. We are getting ready to start recording. We are also playing on wednesday, the 19th at the Cargo Cafe, in staten island NY. And joining us will be Bess Rogers, starting at 10pm. So come on down.
I think that's enough for now. See ya soon.
