Summary: Gab & Jam Episode 41 Who “deserves” to be on the Grammy list? This video is actually a reaction to an article more than anything else, but it’s toward a topic that we’ve been discussing for years. It’s just that this particular article sparked that debate again. The topic is who actually “deserves” to be on the Grammy nomination list? I’m going to warn you in advance that this topic takes us down quite a few rabbit holes, but if you’re an artist, you will appreciate our thoughts on these matters. Don’t forget, if you prefer to listen instead, this episode is available as Episode 41 as a video at http://bit.ly/2G8ayeR First of all, thanks to everyone who joined us during our Blog-vember daily video, podcast, and blog posts. We really appreciate you all! Also, thanks to Stephanie Belcher [Green Bell Marketing on Facebook @greenbellmarketing ] for sharing this post, which got us talking about it again. The article we are re-acting to is: “7 artists who don't deserve their 2019 Grammy nominations — sorry” by Callie Ahlgrim Published on Dec. 7, 2018, 6:18 PM http://bit.ly/2L5ZMV8 cahlgrim@businessinsider.com @callieahlgrim During our discussion we touch on the following points: • “Grammy” vs. “American Music Awards” • Purpose of award shows? • What does it mean to have a best of? • Age-old question of art vs commerce o Vulnerability in creating art o “Experts” • As an artist, are you ever immune? It's the nature of the art (not merit-based; it's subjective) • The absolute bottom line is….. Are there topics that you’d like us to discuss that relate to being an artist, being a musician, on finding and enjoying great music, or on particular creative tools that you’d like to see? If you ask, we will figure out how to get it done. Thanks again. Until next time, here’s wishing you love, peace, and chicken grease.
