Piercing Ken Thoughts: Sadly there wasn’t enough listed in the nominations to pique my own interest but that’s because I listen to mostly Hard Rock and Metal. Before you critique me on this stance please know that I do enjoy a wider mix of things but those two styles are my main go to points. What do you readers think about these nominations? Are you up on many of these artists or did someone you like more get cheated from being nominated? If you know of anyone who deserves the honor in your eyes we’d love for you to post that down in the comments section below. The winner of the 2020 AMAs will be announced in a broadcast that airs on ABC at 8PM ET on Nov. 22 from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. I will return to this topic at that time to make updates to a brand-new post for your perusal. See you next time around.
