It's always just a contest of who has the best connections behind the scenes.

Tom Morello's on the voting.

What is it?

The voting panel or whatever.

So I don't have anything good to say about the Grammys.

They've been terrible.

Like I said, for me, since 1989, when when they decided that Jethro Tull should win over Metallica.

I found these award ceremonies to be more political, like popularity contests.

If they like you, it's like, oh, it's your year to win now, Ian.

You've been so patient.

You've said your lines and not talked out of turn for 30 years.

Here's your Lifetime Achievement Award, and we'll give you an Oscar.

No, I mean, right now we're on Rumble.

It's showing Ian looking at his phone.

So they're saying we're back on Rumble.

We're back on YouTube.

Dude, you guys missed Adam Johnson whipping it out on stage.

So what you were saying before the show locked up, what I was saying is I agree with you about inserting politics into culture and all these things because you have to.

You know, the world is politicizing, but to do it subtly, because some artists are so, hit you over the head with it, and it's like, if I don't wear my MAGA hat, you're not going to get it.

And it's like, you know, you can be subtle.
