Beyonce is gorgeous and talented and I love her.

Also, Macklemore has a good listening face.

Why don't we get it live? Is it because there's no way anyone who watches 60 MINUTES could stay up until 8pm?

It's even worse than that: apparently, the only way to watch the actual broadcast, as opposed to the vapid "red carpet", "backstage" and "loading dock" feeds, is to have a television.

And the music "industry" wonders why it's becoming increasingly irrelevant. "Adapt or die", isn't just a quaint turn of phrase.

I finally found out why Macklemore is so beloved. Whenever anyone writes about him, someone keeps editing out the three words out of every sentence that make all the fawning make sense. Fixed-

Macklemore is a pioneering rap artist [because he's white]. Despite making his album without a label, he quickly achieved unprecendented popularity [because he's white]. He was unique [because he's white] in making politically-conscious rap. He almost immediately achieved prominent spots on nationwide talk shows, variety shows, magazines, and radio [because he's white]. All this while maintaining a family-friendly and media-friendly image [because he's white].

If she'd come up as an indy artist out of Portland, OR, all the Taylor Swift haters would be praising her to no end.

Taylor's a welcome antidote to the pop-music-by-numbers that I just heard from Beyonce and Katy Perry.
