Hits me as almost unconscionable that I am paying $200 odd dollars a month to the thieving bastards at Time/Warner and the thieving bastards at cablevision have taken MSG (so no Knicks) and Fuse off Time Warner. Begging an answer to the musical question: how soon is now to burn down both institutions of advance thievery.
Fuse followed this up by suggesting we help publicize a giveaway of one (that's right ONE) ticket to the Grammys. I went to the Grammys in the 1990s and thought it was about as boring as anything could possibly be. I tend to watch the first half hour and then fall asleep in musical stupefaction. The VA's were always more fun.
Here is what Fuse sent to us:
"Hi Rock NYC,
I'm working with Fuse to help promote their Grammy Takeover sweepstakes, where one (1) lucky winner will have the chance to attend the 2012 Grammy Awards with a friend. This is a great chance for your readers on rock nyc to see the Grammys LIVE! Check out the sweeps details below:
The countdown to the Grammys has begun, and Fuse wants to send 1 lucky winner and a friend to the 2012 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California on February 12th!
