‘Shammy Awards’ Blast Jacko, Elton, Britney & Mariah
Ahead of tonight’s Grammy awards, Brad Kava of the San Jose Mercury News gave out his ‘Shammys’ to “the artists who did the most to make a sham of the ideals of rock and rap, who turned the music into merchandise and flushed our collective dreams down the toilet.” Amongst the artists on the list were Michael Jackson at #2: “Last year, Jackson, the man who once proclaimed himself the “King of Pop” and insisted MTV do the same or he wouldn’t appear on the network, threw himself a tribute to his own career. Amazingly, some people came. But he couldn’t fool many of them into buying his latest album.” As for the top popsters placed at #6: “Britney lip syncing her way across the country, Mariah Carey’s ‘Glitter’ and Garth Brooks’ Dr Pepper commercial. Need I say more?”
