10 things I realized,
while watching the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards.

First,
I don’t enjoy it anymore.

Second,
How I miss the good old days of “Real” Rock and Roll.

Third,
Where did “Hard Rock” go?

Fourth,
In my day, when an artist sings a ballad,
the audience uses their cigarette lighters for effects.
Now, they all use the glow on their cell phones, and raise them up high.

Fifth,
It doesn’t matter if you can perform or not, it’s all about the image.

Sixth,
Since everything is all about image, the true message of the song is forgotten.

Seventh,
Lenny Kravitz, (a Jimi Hendrix wannabe), was a presentor
and was given the chance to perform with Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder.
And they only allotted 30 seconds to pay homage to Ray Charles.

Eighth,
What kind of a name is HoobaStank?

Ninth,
I should have watched the Olympics Closing ceremonies instead.

Tenth,
As I quote Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon,
“I am getting too old for this crap.”
