For The Record: I don't vote on Country, Instrumental, R&B or Rap because I don't like enough of it to be considered a qualified intelligent voter. Hmmm .... wish more people would act like that, especially around November.
Give Pat Green the country awards, give Prince the R&B awards.
For The Record, Part 2:
I don't vote on Rap and Instrumental awards for these two reasons:
- Music needs words. There are too many struggling songwriters for there to be awards for not writing lyrics. Writing instrumentals is just being a lazy musician.
- I say it every year: You can't spell CRAP without RAP.
