KEN: There was an article — I think it was this morning — in the Western Journal. If you\u2019re in this audience, you probably already know this. But these awards shows are just plummeting in the ratings, and the Grammys just had horrible ratings, the Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

Almost all of these awards shows end up just sinking. And it\u2019s beyond the fact that most of those people are boring when they\u2019re out of character or they\u2019re narcissists or they were on the Trump hate train for so long, you can\u2019t even look at \u2019em. But they\u2019re just not entertaining anymore, and this is something that Rush would speak of often. Here he is.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: These people insult the audience, as you say, at least half of their audience when they do these displays like they did at the Grammys and the Academy Awards. And I\u2019m convinced that part of it is they don\u2019t think the way you\u2019re thinking. They don\u2019t care if they\u2019ve angered half of America because to them it doesn\u2019t matter to their success or not. It doesn\u2019t matter to their bottom line, which is curious to me, but you throw the peer pressure aspect of this in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They all want to be in the clique. They all want to be in the group. They all want to get deals, and if they think management requires them to have opinions like this, then they\u2019re gonna utter them. And many of them probably — remember, they\u2019re not that well informed. They might be very talented artists, but they don\u2019t know half of what they think they know.<\/p>\n

I think what happens on social media dictates a lot of what happens in the entertainment world. I think they buy it hook, line, and sinker. I think they believe what\u2019s on Twitter. But there\u2019s another aspect of this too. And I think many of these entertainers in the music business — yeah, even TV and movies — are convinced that they are social justice warriors, and this is largely due to social media as well. And I think they look at this as social justice.<\/p>\n

They look at this almost as civil rights, and they look at hating Trump as actually a civil rights movement. It is an attempt to make themselves feel important. So the Grammys comes along, and here\u2019s a chance for you to tell people who you really are, even if your music as your art does that in some way. I mean, if you\u2019re an angry rapper and that\u2019s your music, fine.<\/p>\n
