Before you defend Chris Brown, let alone support him, read the police report of what happened between him and Rihanna in 2009.
Wow! Where do I begin. I mean, seriously, WTF were the Grammy’s thinking when they had this guy on their show; twice! I didn’t watch the Grammy’s, nor did I even follow who won or was nominated - which just goes to show how relevant they are these days. But, really, celebrating a guy that beats a woman like this? That’s not rock and roll. It’s not even punk. It’s messed up and wrong. Plain and simple.
I just don’t get it. What is it with so-called celebs that they get a free-pass. I get rock and roll. I get lots of the crazy things rock and rollers do. I think such acts are important; they contribute, just not in the ways moral conservatives might think. But there is nothing rock and roll or “celeb ok” about bashing a woman.
The film and music industry’s moral compasses are broken. Again, just not in the way the prudish might think. Where has the humanity gone?
Deaths like Whitney, or Amy, or Michael, or Heath, should not be excused. Why are they thought of as victims? I get the meme about artists and creatives being tortured souls and often finding ways to indirectly kill themselves. But that’s messed up. There’s nothing good or noble about that. Where is the celeb intervention for Lohan? No, they sit back, as does the media, and watch the spiral. FFS, it is the very essence of being an artiste to be altruistic, to care for others, for the planet. Why this tolerance and inaction?
Ugh, enough of the rant. Back to where we started. The Grammy’s should be ashamed of themselves.
