2/17/16 Respect Those That Forged A Path For You?

    I guess the Grammys just happened.  I am not a big fan of these kinds of awards because frankly, the people being recognized are already rich, and it is the same close knit cast year in and year out.  For me or you to feel this way, ehh, whatever, we don't matter to these people, don't kid yourselves.  I found it shocking that A young upstart chose to ignore literally music royalty.  There is a story going on about Sir Paul McCartney, and Beck not being allowed into an after party hosted by Tyga.  Tyga would be a new hip hop singer, with classics like "Bitches And Marijuana", "Girl You Loud", "Faded", "Make It Nasty"...  But don't forget TYGA stands for Thank You God Always.  I looked up the lyrics thinking maybe he is more clever than what I would expect, but no, the songs go on about the usual stuff, getting high, getting rich, I don't understand where God fits into his title?
    That was just a quick introduction of someone who probably has a short career, considering how long most people last in the music business.  If you do manage to have enough spare change to then host a party, and someone like Paul McCartney comes a knocking, get off your ass and recognize fool, have a fruit basket waiting for the man.  This man started entertaining countries in the 1960s.  He was walking or trying to walk in with Beck, maybe not a Beatle, but that man has had all his albums released nominated for Album Of The Year the year he releases them, and has won two or three times.  There was even a third fellow with them Taylor Hawkins who is the drummer for the Foo Fighters.  Another band that has been around since the 90s.  This fellow might not be as worldly, but he was named Best Drummer in 2005 by some British magazine.
    It makes no sense to keep real musicians out on a night celebrating music.  You should all be gathering and showing the love for each other, idiots!  How long before one of you hip hoppers wants to borrow a Beatles song or hook, does this help the collaborative effort?  Does this show any kind of respect for people that were making music before you were even born?
    His excuse was that he was performing on stage, why would he keep out a Sir Paul McCartney?  Well, it was your party, the behemoth working the door doesn't think on his own, he takes orders from above.  I am sure it will blow over, these guys have way more class and talent than the people inside, but had it been the other way around, wouldn't we be hearing the wahh machine of racism?  Funny how in this instance, it'll just get swept under the rug as a big misunderstanding, hopefully TYGA gets swept under too.  He can come out when he realizes you can't have it both ways, if you are going to acknowledge Thank You God Always, maybe make some music that doesn't just talk about getting high, because God would not be impressed by your posing.  Idiot!
