Piercing Ken Thoughts: So there you have it my friends. What did you think about the winners circle that we outlined up above? Did your very favorites take home the award? You can chime in down below in the comments section. As I mentioned in my introduction section, I didn’t watch the awards and instead opted to watch a broadcast of Marvel Studios “Avengers: Infinity War”. Most of you know the type of music that I most focus on which is Hard Rock and Metal for the unaware. The absolute lack of any representation of this music in The AMA’s made me find this program to be of zero interest in supporting. That being said I am still glad to share the winners because some of those names are always good Google searches. See you next time.
