Grammy Awards Get Lowest Rating Since '95

Why is this bad news???? The grammys have become the epitome of bad taste and 
even worse "music," if you can call much of what they present, music.  Could 
it be that the American public is getting tired of that crap?  I guess though, 
it could also mean that lots of teeny boppers, who the grammys really aim at, 
may have been watching some stupid reality show, instead.
They don't even show any presentations of "good music" awards on the TV show, 
they just announce before commercials about "previously awarded categories."
Yes, Ray Charles may have gotten some posthumous awards, but the still wasn't 
enough to make me watch.  Some years I have looked in at times while watching 
something else, but this year I didn't even look once.
