OK, so a while back we posted about the Foo Fighters consistent sucking-up-to-the-man, corporate behavior. It really isn’t that surprising coming from a band that has fallen so far, but it still sucks. Especially since their downfall really seems to have no end in sight.
The good ‘ol Foo Fighters will be performing at the first ever Grammy Nominations concert, along with new tabloid pretty boy John Mayer and B.B. King - though I can’t really talk shit about BB since he is an undisputed blues legend - did you know he has released over 50 albums?!. The concert will be held on Dec 3rd at Nokia: LA Live and will also be broadcast on CBS.
Hosting this sure-to-be-amazing event will be Mariah Carey, LL Cool J and Taylor Swift and the event will also coincide with the opening of the Grammy Museum in the LA Live complex. Yes, you heard me right. The Grammy Museum - where all Grammy award winning “artists” can be celebrated and placed on an ever-rising pedestal for the fans of mainstream music to look up to, and unfortunately emulate.
As if the Grammy Awards weren’t BS enough, they’ve now decided to stage an event just for the nominations. I can’t help but picture a mile-long conference table in a fancy office at the top of some high rise building somewhere, lined with Armani-suit wearing, smell-their-own farts, corporate assholes and wonder to myself how they couldn’t come up with anything better. But then I remember that even though the idea sucks, the general public will never notice as long as you dangle that invisible carrot , in this case Mariah Carey and Foo Fighters. Which then leads me to wonder how much money Foo Fighters need to make before they stop encouraging these corporate assholes. Ok I’ll stop with the corporate-bashing rant. But seriously, I thought the Foos were supposed to be on hiatus, anyway. I know I could use the break.
