until last night. Until last night. And I figured it out. So the Grammys were last night. Grammys were last night. And Bach, I don't know when it happened. I don't know when it happened. But I have officially become the old guy

who does not know anybody on the Grammy. Like I know. know the names. I don't know what songs they sing for some of them. But I was just like, who, what is going on? And then you have to remember that, that yeah, I'm the old guy, like officially, I'm the old guy. So I have to accept that changes come and there's new people and new talent and you have to learn who they are. And I've become obsessed with a couple of them. my daughter sent me some notes on a couple of people, and then I started watching the videos,

and I went down the rabbit hole there. And my goodness gracious, there's some talented young people out there. And we don't know it because we get bombarded with the nonsense, and then the truly talented people get left to. So if you're looking, let me just say this young lady by the name of Lola Young that my daughter hit me through,

Lola Young and Sayla Su. And she sent those to me, and I was like, wow, these are brilliant. These are amazing. But I would say, Bach, that I knew 50% of the artists. That's not too bad.

Right? Maybe. And the third, I knew the artists and their songs. Like, some of them, I knew their name because they're talked about so much, but I don't know why they're famous. I just know that they're, like, people know who, oh, people know who they are.

I've heard people talk about them. But I don't know their music. I couldn't tell you what the catalog. But then there's the rest of it. I'm just like, what are we? What is happening? Right? And you mentioned the young lady that had the provocative dress on.

Yeah. And I had to remember that I was raised around David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Mick Jagger, Madonna's like a virgin prince coming out on stage wearing nothing but a big boot off the stage in front of 90,000 Rolling Stone fans because he came on stage wearing. bikini bottom and like a trench coat. And they were not prepared. They were not prepared. Right?

It just happens, right? It just happens. So as it evolves, yeah, I'm just fully saying, I don't know how y'all feel about it. I didn't know I was not, man, I thought I was cool. Yeah. Texas says, love the interview with Willie Miller. Yeah, those are amazing stories and journeys.

to watch people grow into a different version. Texas says, always great to hear from Willie Miller, one of my favorite bullbacks that ever played the game. Cigar guy, yeah, I'm with you. Says, I watched the Grammys with my 14-year-old daughter last night, felt mildly old, but not too bad. One group she loves was up for Best New Artist, and I watched them, and they did not get it.

Yeah, I, Lola Young winning it. My daughter was leading me up. She was setting me up to, to understand who these new artists were. And the new artist is the change of the direction. That's literally what the new artist is for. That in whatever's existing in music, they're there to change the scope.

And there's a thing that happens. And I want to say it's once every seven years or so. And I don't know what they, there's the British Music Academy. And once every five to seven years, There's a young British young lady who comes in And You go back to Amy Winehouse, Adele

Their music academy, I mean, New York has its own music academy.

But my goodness gracious, the British Music Academy, they pull people in. And it's pretty amazing. It's pretty amazing. Coopers who says this is that the Grammys are way too political for me. I don't know the separation of policy, right? It's one thing to talk about policy. Another thing to talk about people and condition. Music has always been shape-shifting.

Music has always been the mirror. Music and sports, those are two things that are the mirrors to what's going on in the country and the world. And, yeah, if you're uncomfortable by it, Maybe you should actually dive into it. Don't run away from it. Embrace it. It's just conversation.

Like, it's just conversation. Music has always been, I remember, I'm old enough to remember my grandmother talking about the Beatles and their long hair. You know, what, what is happening? And the transition from people showing up on TV as musicians wearing suits and ties to, wearing bell bottom blue jeans. It's always been, you know, it's always been the mission. Music is for young people to shape-shift the rest of humanity. That's what it's for. Rap music, that was the very core of it. Jazz, it is rebellious in nature. Country music is to remind you of your humanity and the base things that connect us all. Music is supposed to be a

connector. So it's supposed to be a divider. But it allows you to section off what, where you, you know, what speaks to you. And you're fine either way. But that's kind of what it is. Right? I mean, that's kind of the way. I mean, artistry, music, I mean, that's literally the nature of it. That's why it exists. Rock music was young people screaming to the adults. It's always been punk music. It was the outsider yelling at the main street. Punk, new wave, new age, emo. It's young people telling their adults,

hey, pay attention to this. We want to be hurt. Don't be offended by it. Don't be bothered by it. Just listen. And if it's not for you, then don't listen. that that's fair all of that it's fair cigar guys the best music has always been a reflection of society and thereby politically yeah i i did i think here's here's here's what imagine that the rest of the country feels away and you in your pocket of the country

doesn't don't agree with it okay but that you know country music has its own award the gramees are a whole other force. The hip hop awards. It's a whole other force. Country music, you go to, you know, there's a place for you and what makes you comfortable and don't embrace them both. Get ready for all that coming back. You know, I'm saying either way, it's just going to happen with bad money at halftime of the Super Bowl. Those discussions are going to be coming back. No, but it's music. Like, how do we not miss, how do we miss that? How do we miss that? How do we miss that that music has always been. And the Super Bowl is a global event.

The belief is that it's an American event. No, it's a global event. It's based in America. And America has a whole bunch of things in one pot. It just is. If, if what's potato today ain't for you, amen. Yours is coming up.

As a matter of fact, you probably already had yours. It's a weird thing to have people who get catered to all the time and they get uncomfortable when somebody else gets catered to. It's like the complaint is, why aren't you still catering to me? Why is it this about it? Sports does that too. We identify. The Big Ten says, hey, what about us?

Nebraska basketball will say to the Big Ten, hey, what about us? We want the same treatment you give everybody else. We want fair treatment. Isn't that what the basketball? Listen, Mr. Official. They shot 49 free throws in two games. We've shot nine.

What is up with that? And if you tell me that's just who you are, we need to have a discussion. That's where we'll take the discussion. 49 free throws for opponents in the last two hushker games. And people will say, well, it's jump shooting. It's three-point shooting. No.

No, because as Fred Hoyberg told you, he gave you the playbook, that the work defensively has done before the ball arrives. Sometimes the foul occurs away from the ball. Sometimes it occurs on the cut to the basket. Sometimes it occurs in transition. And those accumulations of fouls along the way

is what sends you to the free throw line. It's not just filed in the act of shooting. It is fouls accumulating over the course of a half. At some point, there were 23 shots inside the ark for Illinois, and they had taken nine free throws. Nebraska had taken 20 and they had no free throws. So there's a whole thing. Anyway, we'll close out one-on-one when we come back.
