Dick Clark?

Dick Clark?

So, because it's Monday, and my day isn't the best, I might as well show my ignorance of things outside of my bubble. For future reference, things inside my bubble include and are generally limited to the following: House M.D., The Big Bang Theory, Glee, John Green, Hank Green, dead authors, dead artists, fashion, and music (JUST the music, not the history beyond it, not all the lyrics, not even who it's by half the time).

So. Last night the AMAs happened apparently. And there was some controversy over Adam Lambert's performance being censored on the west coast. I only found out because he was a trending topic on twitter and I wondered why.

When I hear someone say AMA I think American Medical Association, not Music Awards. And so, I looked it up, and apparently it was created by Dick Clark some time ago. And it's been going on for a while. I did not know about this and I watch ABC kind of regularly. Did they advertise for this?

It's kind of a terrible feeling to wake up, go on your computer, and wonder why people are talking about Adam Lambert and the American Medical Association.

Oh well. I'm going to chalk up my not knowing the dual meaning of the acronym AMA to the fact that me and live television don't mix. I mean, heck, I didn't even know about the Oscars until I was in maybe seventh or eighth grade. Kind of sad, seeing as I knew that whole Sally Fields, "You like me, you really, really like me!" when I was about three. There will probably be some other crazy live award show that happens that I don't know about until after the fact. I'll give it a few months.
