Music Industry Awards

The show tonight should be pretty eclectic and pock marked with some tasty esoterica. On another note, does anybody out there have an idea of how many lame music award shows there are in existence now? The easy answer is too many. How many times can the same vapid people insincerely fawn over each other for the fact that they've received some sort of inconsequential piece of hardware. It just demeans the artistic element of the music business. Not to mention that some of these selfsame individuals are completely inarticulate, boring and so consumed with narcissism that they are incapable of relating to their fellow humans in any meaningful way. Who watches these things and what's more who takes it seriously?
