Jesus Christ Raku, Macklemore has a whole song talking about white privilege and appropriation of hip hop (Maybe you should check it out, "White Privilege"). Hate the system, but be happy for what seems like a decent guy.

Cool. Carole King is a legend. I've never been a fan of her own records, but as a songwriter she is peerless -- 118 Top 100 hits, going back to 1958, when Paul McCartney was barely out of short pants.

Yay: Carole King, Ryan Lewis & Macklemore's GORGEOUS group wedding, presided over by Queen Latifah..the way the bits of the stage lit up more & more as it progressed..happy lighting swoon. & Madonna..with the cane..oi vey. It was fitting that she'd pop out as she did, to preside over things, in a way. But it is a reminder of how time has flown to see the Material Girl become the Material Older Lady. ;)

& you all may be tired of Macklemore & Lewis..but when Mary Lambert's voice swelled up, & she looked so gorgeous, & then to hear they made that record on their own - well. I was pleased.

I love how Daft Punk never comes out of their helmets. It's like a pair of French Stigs, makin' robot dance music.

Blurred Lines won nothing!

Nay: Ugh Imagine Dragons bores the bejeezus out of me.

The piano w/ Metallica was an interesting idea, & their red laser lights were fun, but they didn't seem as tight as some of the other acts.
