Grammy Controversy
The 2022 Grammy Nominations are in & like every other year, people are pissed! Multiple controversial figures have received nominations this year including, Dave Chapelle, Louis CK, Marylin Manson & DaBaby. CEO of the Recording Academy, Harvey Mason Jr stated that they would not be restricting artists from submitting their work for consideration. Some of these artists may not be welcome at the event themselves, but they clearly made it through the selection process. I think that this is actually a good thing for the Grammys. To me it shows that maybe the process is more democratic than we all originally thought. This is a sticky situation because I am not going to die on the hill of defend some of these guys actions because I don’t believe that they should be defended but it does add a new layer to the age old question - Can you enjoy somebody’s art if you don’t like the artist? I’m not going to wander that right because I think it depends, I have no attachment to DaBaby but I really enjoyed the first few albums in Marylin Manson’s discography. I know people are not going to like this sentiment but I think this may be a healthy thing for society. We don’t need to shut everybody out for eternity.
