For one night, an awards show understood what it meant to appeal to the masses. And then the 2014 Grammy Awards fired off a culture war missile aimed at those who believe in a traditional definition of marriage.
While the Oscars routinely go political and the VMAs pull out all the shock stops, the annual Grammys telecast eschews overtly dividing moments. Assuming you don't mind musical genre mashups worth rubbernecking over.
Tonight, LL Cool J emceed another Grammys telecast aimed at the widest audience possible until rappers Macklemore and Ryan Lewis sang Same Love while 33 couples--both straight and gay--got married.
"This song is a love song not for some of us, but for all of us," said Queen Latifah who officiated the live wedding in front of a church-like setting complete a gospel choir. "Strip away the fear, underneath it's all the same love."

ReplyDeleteStop watching junk. Ratings go down and money is the draw. Whether it be good press or bad press, money is the draw.

ReplyDelete"LOOK AT MEEEEE! LOOK AT MEEEE!!!!
ReplyDeleteyup as the sheep are led to slaughter by the government the media fills them with garbage!Feel really sorry for future generations! what a pathetic state of affairs we leave to them!
ReplyDeleteCarlos Santana writes and plays fantastic that really ROCKS!! And he has never put anything on stage like these a__holes have. That's because Carlos has enough sense to not pis_ off 95% of the population, it would cut into album sales. He will say bizarre stuff to Rolling Stone, however, as that;s where the 5% hangs out to worship rock and movie stars.
ReplyDeleteHe's not stupid!
Liking USSR and Putin more everyday. Even a bunch of Communists recognize the immorality of gay marriage. However, our nigerian king encourages immorality and nanny state solutions for the USA.
ReplyDelete5:51 did you read the article? He is a satan worshipper...the whole show is a dose of satan
ReplyDeleteYes, 718, I did read the whole article. What Carlos said is interpreted as satan worshiping by the author. The whole interview of Carlos contained NOTHING of a satan mention only the writer's interpretation of the original interview, again, just to cater to the 5% out there. I stand by my statements 100%.

The solution is simple, find entertainment alternatives.
ReplyDeleteTurn off Hollywood and stop spending money on leftist/socialists music.
Stop donating to causes that finance Obama supporters lives.
Cut off the money and they will wither on the vine.
Also, 7:18, using Carlos' quotes, he never said or colluded to the fantasy that "Santana" had anything to do with satan, that was the writer's conclusion. Yes, he had a "go to inner force to help him write music, and he received messages to "write this down", but so have I when I consulted my higher Spirit. And I'm Catholic!
ReplyDeleteYou must not know God.
That's how it works, or are you not to that level yet?
So are you saying Carlos Santana is gay?
