Grammy Hangover




Ya, I know it was a couple of days ago, and there has been a lot said about the shodcast that we got fed on Sunday, but this has been bugging me. A week ago commemorated the 50th anniversary of what is known as The Day the Music Died. I'm talking about the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. There is no modern day equivalent to these acts or this tradgedy. They were the greats of a generation that helped build the foundations for modern pop and rock into the 60s and beyond. They broke barriers and records and we are still in debt to their work. So where the hell was any mention of this on the Grammys? Zip. Zilch. Disgusting. It's more than an oversight, it's a disgrace.
