Getting closer to the end of Round 1.
Now I have a lot of fond memories of what we call the "music festival". Watching Tom Petty. Watching Dave Matthews. Seeing Jack Johnson perform "The Joker" with Steve Miller Band. You could only see that at a music festival. The iconic music festivals, there are many. Woodstock, from the 60s, and the infamous mud fights and destruction of Woodstock '99. That could only happen at a music festival. The Monterey Pop Festival, also heralding Jimi Hendrix, like Woodstock, giving him an iconic and legendary aura. Coachella, Tomorrowland, Live Aid/Live 8, Ultra Music Festival.... to name a few.
The Golden Globes. What is it? It is an awards show for both television and movies, stemming from the 1940s. It's not the Oscars, its not the Grammys. Do you watch The Golden Globes? While it may be viable for viewership, it is for celebrities and their legacy, rather than the fans, which is the music festival. Music festivals are gnarly, The Golden Globes is a television event. Let's be honest, I doubt any of us MFGGers attend The Golden Globes. I can't name an "iconic" moment from the awards show without looking it up. Like I said, it's not the Oscars, it's not the Grammys. And it is not The MTV Music Awards.
So I give this one to the madness of that which is Woodstock '99.
