"Fire And Fury" And Funny
The "Fire and Fury" segment from last night's Grammy Awards is going viral, so we may as well hop on for the ride, too. Hillary's appearance was priceless, but we also loved Cardi B's unscripted take on sociopath Donald "Rump" Trump's nocturnal habits, too (starting at the 54 second mark).
Fun times aside, there's work to do in the recording industry when, over the past 6 years, out of nearly 900 nominees, only 9% have been women. Then, there's the clueless statement of Recording Academy president Neil Portnow after being asked about the dearth of female awardees this year: "[Women] need to step up.." Really. Maybe the answer is he needs to step down.

I LOL'd at that segment. I know that Trump loves attention, even negative attention, but mockery seems to drive him nuttier than anything else. So, good for Hillary, stepping up and being sassy.
And clearly the entertainment industry, be it film, television, or music, has got to evolve and work towards equality and opportunity for women, minorities, and all.
