The Grammys Outside The Box

I remember the Golden Globes when there was a writers' strike or something and it was a press conference. There was time for analysis!

If they'd just give out awards and not have performances it would go faster. True, they can't give out all the awards on the air. Oh, wait ... maybe they can!

I've started looking at the Grammy website to check on the winners I'm interested in (usually rock and CCM), most of which are in the "awards presented earlier" and announced before the show anyway.

WAP is the king of song that would had cost a lot of FCC fines in 2004 if it was released in a post-Janet Jackson Nipplegate world. remember, in 2004, the FCC cracked down on indecency on the airwaves in the wake of Nipplegate, which was the last straw with years of shock jocks doing things that cost station to get fined, Opie & Anthony and Stern were the worst offenders of a pre-Nipplegate world as they have been fine numerous time, just in 2002, the Sex for Sam scandal was the final straw for O&A cause they sent a couple to St. Patrick's Cathedral a Catholic church) to perform sex acts in said church and CBS Radio fired them cause not only did WNEW got fined, but they got in hot water with the Catholic church or a Catholic Church based organization in the US. and Stern, he got so much fines that after the FCC crackdown began, Stern decided terrestrial radio wasn't worth it anymore and move to Sirius to avoid getting fined by the FCC.

Michael Powell the then-FCC chairmen even said 10 years when boobgate happened on an ESPN article claiming that he was just putting on a show for congress to get a major fine for CBS which I was glad the Supreme Court in 2012 threw out the fine. I doubt those that were outrage still believe that CBS got fined and paid the fine everyone moved on from it didn't see what the courts decided. I didn't see Janet's boob until the day after on the news since it was so fast I really doubt no one saw it live.

I think that what was so bad was the Super Bowl is supposed to be a family show. Although coaches and players have been known to curse.
