You did hear the other two songs they had to choose from right?

ed,

I'm guessing that's what the problem was... I mean, I heard that song. I am young, I listen to hip-hop, rap, r&b, and pop. I thought it was completely horrible. I would never, ever listen to that song again.

But you're right. I have no idea what the other two songs were, and they were probably even worse.

There was that problem. Dolly Parton sang some endless paen to God, or self-help, or something that was totally unacceptable, abd the other song - hmm, I vaguely remember the visual, but I don't remember catching anything sounding like a tune.

So, "no award" wasn't an option?

Strangely the guy who wrote the column isn't insane.

Dolly was good! Can't argue with that, but that Crash song was wrist splittingly bad. Dolly might have been a touch better than Three 6 Mafia but close enough where I can't fault the award.

The musicality and poetry is often outstanding. Why is the message so perverted? Remember it's a minstrel show for Whitey. That explains a lot.

I know I'm in trouble when the kids say "Do you know who doing that song?" as I'm starting to jiggle. Sure enough, Keyne.

And along with the marvelous artistry are a plethora of soul searching themes. As for the degout, at least it's dialogue.
