What it says to me is that the larger part f the industry holds little or no interest for me.

Most of what I do musically has next to nothing to do with that whole world.

I infrequently attend shows that cost more than $7, and I can't remember the last time I bought a CD released by a major label.

At one point in my life, I'd watch these shows for the music... nowadays I don't even give a crap about that. I'm sick of the way these shows are packaged. I can't muster any enthusiasm for them anymore.

I listened to the broadcast on radio because of some freezing rain and slow traffic that kept me on the road longer than I thought. All I wanted to see was Zep; well, John Paul Jones at least. I was extremely disappointed to hear the pathetically short nod they were given. I mean, don't the Oscars or one of those awards give several minutes to their lifetime achievement winners? I turned off the radio after that and like many of you I may never tune in again.

I got a chance to see some of the show tonight thanks to my girlfriend. She Tivo'd it, and I got to see some of it tonight. There was plenty of good and bad to go around. As much as I love the Beatles, the *all-star* rendition of "Across The Universe" was a horror show. OMG, I was so embarassed for the people with real talent who were up on that stage at that moment. Brian Wilson, God bless him, seemed like a deer in the headlights. Weiland was positively awful. For crap's sake, when you can say that Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day probably offered up the best/most appropriate vocal, you know that doing this was a bad idea.
