Grammy Awards Tributes, Natalie Cole and Lemmy Controversy
The upcoming Grammy Awards have faced criticism for the selection of artists receiving full performance tributes. While David Bowie, Glenn Frey, and Lemmy from Motorhead are scheduled for major segments, Natalie Cole and Maurice White will only be featured in a video package. The hosts discuss the potential racial and promotional motivations behind these production choices.
Lemmy Kilmister Death, Social Media Mourning Etiquette
The death of Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister prompts a discussion on the phenomenon of people posting "selfies" with deceased celebrities. The behavior is characterized as an ego-driven attempt to show a personal connection to the dead rather than a sincere tribute.
In the wake of the Bataclan massacre, major musical acts including U2 and Motorhead cancel their scheduled performances in Paris. Adam Curry criticizes Bono and U2 for what he perceives as cowardice, arguing that continuing the shows would have been a stronger statement against terrorism.
