Why I'll Never Be Voted…
…best gay blog: I couldn't care less about the Golden Globe Awards. I didn't even know they were happening and I'm not very clear on what they are, nor do I care. Sorry–not.
But I do know some show tunes. Does that count?

To thwart spam, comments by new people are held for moderation; give me a bit of time and your comment will show up.
I welcome comments -- even dissent -- but I will delete without notice irrelevant, rude, psychotic, or incomprehensible comments, particularly those that I deem homophobic, unless they are amusing. The same goes for commercial comments and trackbacks. Sorry, but it's my blog and my decisions are final.

I'm with you, Jeff. Once upon a time they had the Academy Awards,
which was a really big deal, and the Tony Awards, for Broadway, and
that was a big deal in New York and the Northeast.
But over the past 30 or 40 years there has been a proliferation of
awards programs for the glitterati. Any more, there seems to be a race
between the film and country music industries to see which can hold
more and more-gaudy, overblown and self-congratulatory award
extravaganzas. Oh, and if that isn't enough, when a major star croaks,
they have a big tribute program.
That said, is being plugged into the golden globe awards a prerequisite
for popularity among gay blogs?

Prerequisite for popularity? I don't know that there's a definite rule, but when I wrote that I believe I was a bit exasperated that every "gay" blog in my reading list that day seemed to be endlessly excited about these awards. Even I am often attracted by shiny things, but I resisted the Golden Globes.
