"Bush = terror"??? You're obviously insane but try and stay with me on this one, ok...........dude?

Free speech is one thing, and I'm all for it. But millions of fans (except me) are going to watch the Grammy's for the music, the glitter and the hype. No one tunes in for the speeches. In fact, I'll bet most viewers feel the speeches are the least enjoyable part of the show. If I'm a 16 year old Eminem fan waiting to see my hero come on, I ain't gonna sit through speech after speech from every other artist telling me how bad war is. I find it annoying when every other artist tells me he has Jesus to thank for his success. I don't want to hear it. I'll probably end up finding something else to watch.

CBS is covering the Grammy's to make money. They make money by selling advertising. Advertisers buy the air time because millions of people are expected to tune in. If millions of Americans begin turning off the show because of these speeches, CBS will lose money. People will NOT be watching the Grammy's for the speeches. Not even those who are against removing Saddam, who still happen to be in the minority. These speeches should be made in the appropriate forum. Not at an awards show. CBS has every right to deem what is acceptable and what is not.

Hell, I just might watch the show because it's turning into more than just a lame awards show. There might be some fireworks.
