Random Thoughts or Whatever

Who is responsible for catagorizing artists at awards shows?

Back in 89, Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for best heavy metal album of 88. Wait! What? Since when does JT play anything that even remotely resembles metal? NEVER! 3 years later, Metallica won the award and Lars Ulrich thanked JT for not releasing an album that year. Had the audience roaring with laughter.

Now, I see where Judas Priest won for best.....R & B album? It was posted on Instagram.

Can there really be people that stupid that they don't know who plays what genre of music involved in giving out awards? I guess Willie Nelson might be awarded best polka album someday?

Shaking my head, I walk away in disgust.

When Twisted Sister wins for best love song we can all burn our speakers in protest......

Ventured out briefly to make sure neighbors can pass safely, as expected, no ice right now. I also brushed away all of crap on my window frames and door jams to prevent leaks which can happen. While out there, I realized we need a new version of the Nazareth classic "Hair of the Dog". The new one is "Sharps from the Clouds" and the chorus goes "Now it's sleeting like a....a son of a b****, now it's sleeting like a son of a b****". Nothing like tiny frozen razor blades hitting your face while you're trying to get something accomplished.
 
Random thought...ZIPPERS! I tend to disli...detest them!

There's the one's where you gotta go outside into the cold, and the darn thing won't get started on the track. Or, they get caught up on something (scarf/shirt/ coat), and they're half way up or down when outside or in the rain. And for the guys, the "pant zipper" that fail to function (gets stuck) in times of immediate need! Finally...the "plastic ones" that just break apart!

Don't think I'm alone on this selected hatred. Am I? :dunno:

Well now, let's see... maybe if someone can come up with something that has the advantages of a zipper (block out wind, keep clothes uniformly flat, easy to use WHEN WORKING PROPERLY, etc.), but is more reliable, then we'll have something to replace it with.
 


Checked out to see if the slang that we was used for this "fastener" was mentioned, but couldn't find it . But, did find 100+ other nicknames (some not so nice) attached to this simple tear-open invention that was first used in shoes in '68.

Times were simpler back then. :rolleyes:
