Grammy Award Cuts
« on: May 12, 2011, 09:25:27 AM »
I am not sure if this has been posted here yet (the search function didn't bring me any results).  I just received this petition from the New York Local 802 and I urge you all to consider signing it. 

"The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences recently voted to eliminate 31 categories of Grammy awards, including Best Classical Album, Best Latin Jazz Album and Best Chamber Music Performance. The removal of these and other categories (like Best Hawaiian Album, Best Zydeco/Cajun Album and Best Native American Album) weakens musicians' chances to be recognized for their achievements. It also shows a disrespect for the diversity of American music."

They've also removed instrumental categories.  Please consider signing this petition with me.

The media, on the whole, behaves like a malicious, retarded kid with ADHD.

There is so little respek left in the world, that if you look it up in the dictionary, you'll find that it has been taken out.

As long as they don't cut my beloved 'Best electric xylophone solo' cate...I cant even joke about this, I really detest the Grammys and everything they "stand" for.

Yeah, basically.


Not sure if I want to sign this though. I don't support anything they do whatsoever.

Maybe those awards wouldn't be cut if anyone gave a damn about them. Should've made better music, hippies!
