MTV and the Kiss….

Ok.. So Kevin and I caught a re-broadcast of the MTV Music awards this morning. The whole Madonna, Britney, Christina routine (and forgive me – I can’t remember the rapper’s name) was pretty damn cool but that kiss – not as big a deal as I expected.. cool and all sure but just a peck – peck with tongue granted – but a peck.. Now Madonna runner her hand all the way up Britney’s inner thigh – THAT I would have thought would have been a bigger deal… But still..

Rest of the show? COMPLETELY uninteresting.. I’m probably just turning into my parents but I thought the show was just commercial and irritating. I listen to my fair share of weird alternative music so I can deal with other music that isn’t my style. But the whole awards show seemed to a pretty narrow set of trendy artists and didn’t seem to do a very good job of showin the other alternative and less ‘marketed’ artists. Mind you I’m not expecting Jazz or Classical or Even Country artists – it is MTV after all. It just seemed to be more focused on the acts they’re pushing and throwing money at like Eminem and Byonce rather than trying to show artists that have really revolutionary music and talent…

Guess I’m just expecting too much… Just wish the music industry had more to do with talent and free expression and less to do with PR… Least you can still find the good stuff out there – you just have to look harder… More fun going to the divey places where the garage bands play and to the clubs like Yoshi’s to hear good jazz.. Stadiums really are kinda shitty places to take in music anyway…

Ever wonder…

Ok… So ‘nother tid bit about me.. I’m a University of Colorado Boulder Football fan… Can’t help but be when you spend 5 years in the CU marching band. CU Football is one of the few sports that I actually watch (aside from Men’s Gymnastics – but for a completely DIFFERENT reason! 😉 )..

So… At any Rate… CU beat CSU just now 43-35. Go BUFFS! 🙂

( Scores and Schedule are below – if you’re interested! 🙂 )
