Mobo Awards

[Bazile]

In the absence of AOG I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the MOBO awards is upon us

[andy-hughes]

Personally, I think all popular music is of 'black origin' which makes the notion of awards for it rather pointless.

[THECORBYLOON]

The awards were last Sunday.

[ynnafymmi]

@22.58.Did anyone we have ever heard of before win anything?

[Bazile]

Behind the scenes show then ,being aired on the box, currenty

[THECORBYLOON]

As I have no idea which musicians you've heard of, I cannot help you.

[Mozz71]

I'm not sure what point this thread is trying to make.

[Mamyalynne]

It's a slow burning fuse, I have a rare bet on ;-)

[ynnafymmi]

Did Michael Jackson or Jasper Carrot win anything?

[jno]

Mozz, in years gone by it was AOG's wont to suggest that there ought to be a music of white origin award, or similar. Bazile has kindly picked up the torch.

[Mozz71]

Jno, I know, I was seeing if Baz would actually make a point rather than beat around the bush.

I think the word "Origin" is the important one in the MOBO name.

[ynnafymmi]

So Whacko or the"the funky moped"guy won b*gg*r all then?

[Spicerack]

They should be renamed the AOG's (or scrapped)

[Gromit]

I am disappointed that no one has posted a YouTube clip of the ‘Black and White Minstrel Show’ by now.
You are letting the memory of AOG down.

[sanmac]

I imagine that "The Average White Band" did nae get a mention.

[jno]

no joy for Black Sabbath either.

[Gromit]

The Black Dyke Mills Band could have earned them a few diversity points.

[fender62]

im sure down the road there will be lgbtq music awards, the way things are going, prowoke awards for best organised protests, most offensive offended category, and the special 1984 award.

[ToraToraTora]

ok I'll do it then, When are we going to have the MOWO awards?

[Mozz71]

Well, just for conversation's sake Tora, what music is of white origin? Classical perhaps? Brass band?

[ToraToraTora]

rock and roll, rock generally, heavy metal ......etc
