Polar Music Awards – as a kick off for the Almedalen – Aftonbladet

It is so comical everything.

Again, I have seen rock terminus and his name is Tjabo.

Even at the Polar Prize hyper tight förmingel in the Concert Hall in Stockholm, it is difficult to keep from giggling.

There is one, surrounded by assorted dressed royalists and celebrities and artists and television anchors, and try to drink bubble without getting his teeth knocked out by a careless elbow in evening dress.

A writer Eels past with a lot of glass in his paws and muttering to himself:

“Then we’ll see if we can avoid spilling down his tailored suit.”

Poor man. Life is not easy.

Miscellaneous politicians visible is also in the glittery icing, as it should be. The event is a kick off for Almedalsveckan.

For example, I can not help but wonder who the top ten songs with Emmylou Harris for the Moderate party leader Anna Kinberg Batra . No diss – I’m genuinely curious. Please ask someone from the Bernadotte family of favorite albums with Merle Haggard as well.

The Polar prize is on a plane, and in all his intentions, a very strange and paradoxical ceremony.

Artists began as an option, which sometimes come from and written about alienation and a life far from the sour cream, rewarded by receiving a prize from a monarch’s hand. There could possibly be an inevitable life curve for successful artists regardless of their background and class, but who do not see the humor in it has never laughed.

This applies, incidentally, to stand up and clap politely when King Tjabo with family makes admission to the pompous and småtråkiga event. And it comes to doing the same procedure when King Tjabo family trots away.

And how many in the audience loves country ballads, really? How many can and feel seriously to Emmylou Harris at all?

It’s something rub or receive with the bourgeois framing of the Polar Prize.

With that said, do not lack the price points.

It’s nice that a country that happily insist on doing banal and stupefying “Ha Ha and Hepp Hepp” -Entertainment of pop music takes the ritual seriously one day per year. Possibly, it may make more obscure name rewarded with a larger public light.

This year it was on when one laureate, percussionist Evelyn Glennie, a broad Scottish accent spoke about music’s healing power for body and soul. She has been deaf since age twelve.

The best interpretations of the second winner, tradition carrier and teeming singer Emmylou Harris sailing course elsewhere. But it was nice to see how the Anna Ternheim managed to make Steve Earle “Goodbye”, one of Emmylous many showpieces, justice. It was just nice to see the sisters Soderberg First Aid Kit sing “Red Dirt Girl” for her idol.

But the very best was Harris himself. With regal aura, she held a short speech in which she thanked, among others Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt , Daniel Lanois and Rodney Crowell , Buddy and Julie Miller.

and Gram Parsons received the longest mention. “He made me discover my voice.”

Now we wait probably just that Little Richard to get the price. Or some representatives from overlooked genres like metal and hip hop.

What about Slayer, Public Enemy and NWA?

Who does not want to hear angry songs like “Fuck da police” swooning in front of the Swedish king’s face?

Otherwise gave songwriter and västgöten Thomas G: son the best advice to meet a Polar Music-mingling.

He fed carefully with his hands and said:

” Larsson: You are absolutely right. The distance to the bar’s perfect! “
