In the 1950s and 1960s, TV programming was carefully watched by a Standards and Practices Department. Starting in the 1970s, TV gradually added a little bad, and then a little more and then, even more. It was a slow process to slowly get people used to a little poison and then more. This was a purposeful process that started in the late 1960s with the “sexual (without love) revolution” and the demand by creative people that they needed the “freedom” to produce almost porn for movies and TV today. Movies are generally immoral today. Avoid most of them. The same with TV shows. Not much is left. Television was called a welcomed guest in our home but now it deserves to be tossed in the trash.

I loved watching What’s My Line when it first aired. Those 1950s and 1960s TV shows were fun and made you feel good after watching them. Back then, I couldn’t wait for the next season of my favorite TV shows. Now - forget it. I strongly recommend people watch some of the 1950s and 1960s TV shows that clearly show you can tell good stories without sexual situations, partial nudity and profanity.

Peace,
Ed

Its almost comical to know we still have the FCC which is supposed to monitor tv shows for content, but somehow I think they are swayed by Hollywood more than morals, just look at what they show on regular (non-cable tv) today!!! some of it borders on soft porn, satanic worship, etc. and yet for some odd reason, they still make a big stink when someone uses the ‘F’ word on tv…PLEEAASE…if they let some of the popular sitcoms get away with what they do, I dont see them being overly concerned by someone using the F word during primetime LOL, in fact, if they did, they would be nothing more than hypocrites.

Even the entertainment magazines were asking “Did we just witness real witchcraft ceremony on live TV?” they answered, Uh, yes! LOL

I admit, there is alot of satanic/Illuminati symbolism in almost every music video done by popular artists today, this is very obvious and clear, they make no attempt to even hide it anymore, but this katy perry ceremony was beyond over the top, I would not be surprised if they actually summoned a demon!!!
 
Popular music is not very wholesome to listen to mostly. The Grammys are just a part of what is wrong with our culture in general.

The Grammys have been around for decades, long before our U.S. culture deterioriated music-wise.

There have been hundreds of really good, wholesome songs and musicians awarded Grammys.

And you do realize that there are categories for classical music and religious music, too?

There are some who would say that all awards are worldly and shouldn’t be given. I agree that we seem to have a lot more awards shows than we used to have, and some seem just kind of silly. But the Grammys have been around a long time, and give musicians something to aspire to. I see nothing wrong with musicians being honored for their work.

It’s not the Grammys that are wrong, it’s the people who are running the show. Like I said earlier, Christians need to get into the music business (not necessarily as performers or composers, but as techies, producers, directors, production assistants, etc.) and be a sweet influence on the industry. The more we stay away, the worse everything will get.

Yes. Here was a class-act performance at the Grammy’s in 1987 by Kathleen Battle and Christopher Parkening. It’s one of my favorite renditions of the Bach-Gounod “Ave Maria”. No nudity, no twerking, no screeching and screaming. Reverent, simple, pure and heavenly.

Kind of sickening; I always thought Katy Perry was a Christian. Surely not something you’d have seen on TV 50 years ago; why is it acceptable now?

She was once a Christian, but like someone else said she doesn’t affiliate with any religion or belief now, and even married in a Hindu setting. I read somewhere that her family was very fundamentalist and over-zealous in their faith, which I’m sure helped drive her away from Christianity. She may or may not still believe in God, but if she does she’s probably one of those really lax people that think that they’re on His ‘good side’ because they don’t steal or murder or do anything like that. If I had a quarter for every time I heard ‘I think I’m good enough to get into Heaven’, I’d have enough money to buy my own planet.
 
Yes, there are many awards given to great musicians by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (the Grammys). The ones who make it to the television spotlight are very bad, though. Take the opening act this year, Beyonce, for example who dressed and danced very sleazily, and Daft Punk, who performed their hit “Get Lucky.”

The popular music of the Grammy awards is usually very secular in nature and appeals to visceral notions. I studied this stuff in college. “Satanic” music has always been around in our country, it just makes the spotlight nowadays rather than the refined classical and sacred musics.

Yes, the people controlling the ceremonies are partially responsible for the poor quality of the music, but also are the fans. Those who support the artists determine who sells well and who does not. Major record labels are to blame as well because they select who gets recorded and promoted to the public. Ultimately, the artists should make better music.

I liked the time when I was so young that the only music I knew was what was sung in church. If you are not praising God in some way with the art of music, it is usually vanity.

This is true as well. You see a lot of artists “selling out” so that they can make an incredible living. They see who is controlling the purses. The fan base also drives it and the those in charge will do what it can to manipulate a public, whom they see as malleable and slightly ignorant. At least that is what I learned in my marketing and PR courses that I had to take for my degree. They didn’t call the people ignorant, but that was implied.

It was once thought and believed that the further you went away from the tastes of the aristocracy, the educated and the Church (who both were once the main patrons of the arts), the more the art form became less of an art and more based in obscenities, crudity and low-form entertainment. In a way it was true, especially when you look at the operas made for the common public in the 18th century compared to the ones made for royalty and the aristocracy, for instance. Or just look at the “pop” music in the 17th century. Some were very lovely, but others were rather obscene and gratuitous with sex. It wasn’t always blatant like you would hear today and some you wouldn’t even realize unless you read the history of the music, but you knew exactly what was being implied, especially if you were from that period.

Tastes, I don’t think, really has changed so much. What has changed is the group or groups of people who patronized the arts and controlled the purse strings.
 
I really like the music of the high Renaissance. Maybe it has something to do with the Church being such a big patron of the arts then. Good point.
 
Katie Perry does say she didn’t get popular until she made the song, “I kissed a girl and I liked it” so I can see she sold out. It’s too bad really.

The Grammys seem to be more sordid with each passing year, like the artists try to see how over the line they can be and still put on the air. It’s to be expected now.
 
My Dad gave me the best advice.

“There is no such thing as Bad Publicity”

I don’t watch the Grammy’s or American Music Awards etc. All it is about is choreography and dancing and #1 the Shock Value.

If we give it attention then more people will watch it.

The trendy thing is Gay Marriage so it was staged. Another trendy thing is mocking clergy by having them a part of the show.

Eventually it will die off and good riddance. Look at Marilyn Manson. A buffoon who used to mock religion, rip up the Bible on stage, cut himself etc. He time in the scene ran out. He can’t get a gig anywhere now. The same will happen with these people.

When is the last time a band (you know a band is a group of musicians that play instruments together) played the Grammy’s? Now it is all about dancing, and skimpy clothing.

I don’t even give it the time of day.

Katy Perry is huge now. Having big D cup breasts on display only gets her more attention.

I don’t know why they are talking about the illuminati as of the devil. I am taking a course on the church now and the illuminati was disbanded and had their wealth and land given away to different groups. Too bad the novels of Dan Brown spread false info on them. They no longer exist.

You’re thinking of the Knights Templar. Totally different group with nothing to do with the Illuminati.

Do you know of a good link online to explain the Illuminati with the Catholic perspective?

True. The thing about temporal fame is that it doesn’t last forever. These artists better realize this deception from the devil for the sake of their souls. This might sound like a fanatic comment as pop culture might brand it, but it’s true anyway.
