Then apparently nobody deserves any. There is not a single person on this planet who will not have someone else saying that they are a dick, while honestly feeling that way as well. Seriously, Becka, are you going to say that people wouldn't say the same shit about you? Lighten up and, if you're inclined to vote for something that's supposedly based on the merits of the music, keep it about the music. This just smells like **** bullshit to me.
Most people in the industry that I've met are actually half decent people - dont have an attitude - and treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated - with respect. Juan Atkins is not one of them - I dont care how many hits he writes - I would never support him, or any other artist who behaves that way. Sure-maybe he'll win the grammy, but why should one contribute to the success of an artist who disrespected them to their face. Obviously you are not familiar with this concept. Are you saying that Agent Orange's story is bullshit? I too would not sit there in silence about disrespectful bevhavior of an artist - no matter who they are - otherwise, said artist might think they can get away with it - that, sir, is bullshit. Maybe if the tables were turned and it happened to you, you would feel differently - progress or not.
