Last night it was the 2013 Brit Awards. And I didn't know anything about it, because my mind was elsewhere. However, this morning I looked them up to see what I had missed. And I had hardly heard of anyone. Once upon a time I used to consider myself hip. Even now, I write about music every day, and music is a very important part of my life. Unlike the stereotypical 53 year old, I still listen to new music, and I have very broad tastes. So tell me this:
WHY WERE ALL THE NAMES ON TODAY'S LIST OF WINNERS VIRTUAL STRANGERS TO ME?
I had hardly even heard of most of the nominees. On the
BBC page about the event, the only person I recognised was Boy George. I felt completely bypassed by the whole thing.
The Smiths once sang:
"Because the music that they constantly play It says nothing to me about my life"
I know exactly what they mean. Sad innit?
