as far as competitions go....i was never really a huge fan of them at all
cuz when ya break'em down in the end they're just basically a popularity contest meant to break down those that our fucked up societal standards deem less than the worthy of praise...though thankfully there's always that ONE unfeckless freak in the crowd that shoots out in the end like a silver bullet kill'n the feckless cookie cutter crowded competition...and that is the one that will ALWAYS get my vote!
toads plump up their non existent pout and tout their tired tush and waxed bush down the red carpets from the INDIES to the OSCARS to give another vomit indulgent acceptance speech and squeeze out a single tear to thunderous applause then grab as many free fancy schmancy swag bags as possible in case their last movie bombed and the studio heads make a stop payment on their check
though personally fer me...it's really all about after the ooh so many many
uninvited invitations that i'm sure were simply lost in the mail fer me to ignore except fer the one that i always anxiously anticipate gett'n each and every year to hopefully get a ticket to attend the view'n party at my fav-o-rit rest stop fer some mouth water'n olive tapenade sunbathin' on some deliciously rustic italian sourdough bread and wash'n it down with a slightly chilled glass combo of champagne and chambord with a couple of plump raspberries pirouette'n gallantly to the bottom of the flute glass amongst an array of other deliciously orphaned frostbit nibbly's chipped outta the freezer from the previous holiday soirée thru-out the vote'n process...this of course is non negotiable so tick tock PEETRINELLA...T-I-C-K-T-O-C-K!
however somethin' more my cup of award tea is really just on the ROCKS!
more specifically THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME where we as the human race can really make or break some bad ass with their pipes and place'n them in the musical archives of history!
BUTT trust me...this years nominations HAVE NOT disappointed me in the slightest!
first outta the gate is my fav-o-rit off the wall spit fire silver bullet with a 4
octave range from the golden age of the Mtv era who came from the streets of Brooklyn...born CYNTHIA ANN STEPHANIE LAUPER in 1953 she would eventually be known to world simply as CYNDI LAUPER with her famous flame red locks...her colorful consignment shop clothing style and her effervescent personality...CYNDI was a force thru-out the 80's that still shines bright after 40+ years in the biz
CYNDI began her musical journey in the updated 60’s style new wavy
pop band BLUE ANGEL in 1979 and released their self titled debut album in 1980 with hits like
and "LATE" before the band disbanded and CYNDI made her mark as an international solo sensation
though it wasn't until CYNDI rerecorded and released it in 1984 where it became the universal smash party anthem fer girls everywhere around the world with "GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN"
then release'n the infectious quirky theme song "GOONIES R GOOD ENOUGH" to the teenrager Spielberg flick "THE GOONIES" that same year
CYNDI would release 10 more albums include'n an album of new and old
starrin' as psychic SYLVIA PICKEL in the 1988 romantic adventure "VIBES" among many other movie and tv appearances
then from book shelves to BROADWAY...CYNDI LAUPER has put in her time and deserves to be inducted into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME

my 2nd place vote goes to the british mate who showed off his assets
better than anyone else in the 80's...born GEORGIOS KYRIACOS PANAYIOTO in East Finchley, Middlesex England in 1963...it would only take 18 years later in 1981 to be known as
GEORGE MICHAEL from the 80's super bubble gum pop duo WHAM! with their infectious hit "WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO GO"
WHAM! would only release 2 albums "FANTASTIC" and "MAKE IT BIG"
before GEORGE would call it quits to become a global sensation with his sexually infused money make'n hips on his debut album "FAITH" in 1987 sitting in the top 10 on Billboard charts fer 51 weeks spinn'n out #1 hits like "FAITH" "I WANT YER SEX" and "FATHER FIGURE"
i still remember buss'n my plump A double snakes to the Minne-Apple
in 1989 just to see him shake his live at the St Paul Civic Center only to find out after i had purchased a pepsi and a tour book i had no money left over to get back to my cuz'ns in the Minne-Apple so i sat outside the venue by the bus ramp try'n to hop a ride with anyone that could feel my personal predicament with no takers hear'n my pleas...that is until 2 hours after the show ended and i noticed a bus parade pull out from beneath the stadium and the last bus stopped at the top of the ramp and all of a sudden the doors opened and out popped the one i always wanted to pop my cherry in the worst way...GEORGE looked at me and said "can i help you with a ride mate?" and somehow i suddenly turned into some Helen Keller mute freak and couldn't mutter out a single word so after a few seconds (what seemed like a lifetime fer me) he went back into his bus and i kick myself to this very day how i possibly COULD HAVE BEEN MISS FUCK'N GEORGE MICHEAL!
by GEORGE's 2nd solo release "LISTEN WITHOUT PREJUDICE" in 1990
GEORGE no longer had the desire to be every man or woman's desire nor his record companies prostitute and refused to show his image on the album cover or the videos for "FREEDOM 90" opt'n instead to showcase the supermodels of the world at the time lyp-sync'n to his music
in 1998 GEORGE want'n to just bust his nut in the privacy of some L.A
lavatory however he would end up just gett'n busted by some under cover LAPD nonetheless GEORGE would turn his innocent indiscretion into the unapologetic disco hit "OUTDSIDE" which was released later that same year on his album "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN" the BEST of GEORGE MICHAEL"
GEORGE would release a total of 5 studio albums with "PATIENCE"
bein his last in 2004 that garnered the futuristic hits "FREEEK!" and the up-tempo ditty dedicated to his dearest bf at the time "AMAZING" (that incidentally should’a been about me if i had control of my cognitive senses & hopped on his damn bus in ‘89)
GEORGE had many personal demons he had to deal with thru his career
and unfortunately the musical world would loose a true genius on Christmas day in 2016 though his posthumous nomination is a well deserved and much warranted honor fer this musical icon

CATHERINE BUSH was born in 1958 in Bexleyheath, Kent England
and by 1978 at the age of 19 KATE BUSH (whom she now would be known as) release'd her debut single "WUTHERING HEIGHTS" become'n the 1st UK female artist to write and record a number 1 hit fer the charts
KATE would go on to release 25 top 40 UK hits with a handful become'n
top 10 hits like "BABOOSHKA" in 1980...
and "RUNNING UP THAT HILL" in 1985
which would once again make KATE a household name 37 years after it's release with her hit become'n the pinnacle song in the dark teenrager series "STRANGER THINGS" and why she deserves yer vote today...come on gen Z kittens...be apart of history by putt'n KATE down in the musical history archives
SHERYL SUZANNE CROW made her debut in the 1962 and by 1993
the natural blue eyed beauty would drop her middle name all together and debut the eclectic rocker chick hidden inside her known as SHERYL CROW popp'n out a string of top 10 hits thru-out the 90's and the early 2000's like "ALL I WANNA DO" "STRONG ENOUGH" and "IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY"
on top of release'n 11 studio albums...SHERYL contributed to many many
movie soundtracks include'n 2 songs to the oscar nominated flick "ERIN BROCOVICH" with her duet with JOHNNY CASH "REDEMPTION DAY" and the films end'n number "EVERYDAY IS A WINDING ROAD" so SHERYL is worthy of my vote at #4
and last but certainly not the least was born a year after me in 1971...hail'n
from Portsmouth, VA...MELISSA ARNETTE ELLIOT began her career in the early 90's with R&B group SISTA until embark'n on her solo career in '97 and would become MISSY "MISDEMEANOR" ELLIOT with her debut album "SUPA DUPA FLY" which spawned the hit "SOCK IT 2 ME" make'n her the 1st female rapper to shoot to the highest spot at #3 on the Billboard 200 at the time
by 2001 MISSY's 3rd album "MISS E...SO ADDICTIVE" was by far thee
best work she had released to the universe at that point and had me addicted when MISSY released her 1st infectious single "GET UR FREAK ON" which was followed up by her premature ejaculatory duet with LUDACRIS "ONE MINUTE MAN" both burn'n up the dance floor
release'n her 6th and final album "THE COOKBOOK" in 2005...MISSY
would move from the small screen to the big screen...appear'n in many television guest spots bein' a mentor on the 9th season of "THE VOICE" in 2015 and lend'n her voice on the off beat comedy cartoon "AMERICAN DAD!" as YOYO in 2016
also lend'n her vocals on the remake of 70's hit "CAR WASH" with CHRISTINA AGUELERA in the animated fish flick "SHARK TALES" in 2004
even rework'n and rapp'n along side the QUEEN OF THE DANCE FLOOR in a commercial fer GAP jeans in 2003 to M's 1985 smash hit "INTO THE GROOVE" which in my eyes is an automatic reason MISSY needs to be in the ROCK AND ROLL hall of fame PRONTO!
well there ya have it kittens...my top 5 picks fer the ROCK AND ROLL
HALL OF FAME inductions...you can vote in yer fav everyday until april 28th...so give kudo's where they belong...perhaps you even agree with my absofuckinlutely fab choices...if not...
