I honestly think half the acts haven't given this much thought, and I'll bet all the ones who signed with SAG years ago, who aren't savvy about "the business" are only now realizing what all this means. Like, Jon Bon Jovi gets it, I'm sure. But Beyonce? I'll bet daddy (or Jigga) just explained this whole concept to her, like, last week.

I mean, just think about how ragtag and low-rent publicity and management is in the music biz vs. Hollywood. You're getting this delayed reaction, where all these industry folk and reporters are trying to answer the "Will there be a Grammys?" question, and the acts involved are like, "Of course I'll go," before some handler whispers in the ear and tells them, "no, wait...you shouldn't have said that...we need to have a position on this..."
