Flimflam

I know the Grammys were a couple of days ago, but I needed to take a second to pose a question: Who in their right mind would declare "Daughters" by John Mayer to be the Best Song of the Year??? Am I supposed to honestly believe that out of all the thousands of songs to come out in the last year, THIS was the cream of the crop? It's not even the best John Mayer song, let alone the best song period! I've talked to actual John Mayer fans (they do exist) who have expressed that "Daughters" is one of the worst songs he has put out. Let's look at a sampling of these award-winning lyrics, shall we...

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

If you read these lyrics to the tune of Hickory-Dickory-Dock, they're actually much more enjoyable. The Grammys will always be one big popularity contest and that chintzy little trophy becomes more worthless every year.
