Keep in mind that your parents thought you were going to Hell because of elvis shaking his hips. It is all relative. I can only imagine what the youngsters today will be complaining about 30 years from now. It is funny how people have said on other threads that they have not watched in over 30 years....well you are too old to be watching the Grammy’s anyway. Stay with your Lawrence Welk show. I didn’t watch either and I am 44...why too old to be paying attention to this type of show. Let the youngins enjoy their show.

No comparison, not even close.

“Keep in mind that your parents thought you were going to Hell because of elvis shaking his hips.”

I think that’s quite exaggerated, a type of historical urban legend.

Still, to the extent there is truth in it, it is clear now, more than 50 years later, that they were right!

IMO the music industry peaked in the mid 80’s, and has been in a greed fueled nosedive ever since.

Although there are a very FEW new songs/artists that I like such as Avenged Sevenfold’s “Hail to the King” which IMO seems to be a poke at 0bama.

“Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
Children roam the streets now orphans of war
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore

Royal fames will carve a path in chaos,
Bringing daylight to the night
Death is riding into town with armor,
They’ve come to take all your rights

Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king

Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne
Born again but it’s too late to atone
No mercy - from the edge of the blade
Dare escape and learn the price to be paid

Let the water flow with shades of red now
Arrows black out all the light
Death is riding into town with armour
They’ve come to grant you your rights

Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king

(Guitar Solo)

There’s a taste of fear
When the henchmen call
Iron fist to tame the land
Iron fist to claim it all

Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun

Hail to the king
Hail to thw one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun

Hail to the king”
