Big Events of Little Consequence

It made sense that the Grammy Awards and the State of the Union Address happened during the same week. Both are events that seem important but don't have much to do with anything that matters. The Grammys exist in a parallel universe to everything I care about in music, and have little to do with what motivates ninety nine percent of the musicians out there. Likewise, the State of the Union has not much to do with how governing will happen and politics play out this year. The sound and the fury!
