Piercing Ken Thoughts: So it’s quite the list as usual but truth be told this isn’t one of my own favorite music awards shows since there is so little represenation of the music that I listen to. No Metal, Punk or Progressive but twelve or so focused on Rap, R&B and Latin. Oh well, I guess you can’t please everyone. For me this is just a share of important news if you follow any of the artists being nominated. That’s all I have about this one and wonder what you all think about it. Will you be tuning in? Have some of your favorite artists been nominated or were they overlooked? Chime in down below and I will see you next time. Please stay safe out there.
