Yeah, that speech was great. Chappel got me to start paying attention to pop music again.

Thx for noting Chappel Roan's great speech re the record industry providing living wage and health care. She makes a great point. I'm surprised that I haven't heard this petitioned before. Like you, I don't pay any attention to the Grammy's so I'm grateful that you brought it to my attention. (I play in a punk band and our fave music gets zero attention at the Gs.) After a few minutes of searching, I didn't find any response from industry execs to her comments. Let us know if you come across some . Keep up the great work.

Yeah, I truly doubt any steps will be taken by major label execs much less formal comments but at the very least she pressed down on 'em when she could've just reveled in the glory. Glad you could hear about it through this silly post. Thanks for the comment!
