"My opposition is because the Dave Clark Five got fucked. Nothing more. Nothing less."I really don't have much opposition now, for the organization already has zero credibility as far as I'm concerned. Same goes for the Grammy awards.
But the real problem is over that past quarter century, I think what's really getting f'ed is real music.
And it's gotten to the point where I'd be tempted to place the blame for the decline in music over that time at the very feet of those running these institutions. For I really think such "judgment" has enabled a fraudulent art to displace a real one, in the music industry. (What I call "fraudulent art" in this case is non-talent "made pretty" by technology. It's not so much what you're good at, but who you know in the industry.) And it has also "dumbed down" the public's discernment of the musical arts. And it's downright depressing whenever I think about it.
