Macklemore took the stage and performed a song about gay rights accompanied by corny feelgood piano chords, his minion Ryan Lewis a few black people playing horns and an unknown singer.
I've never heard the song but it hit all the predictable notes e.g. equating the black struggle for civil rights to the homosexual struggle for civil rights and a personal yet worthless vignette about macklemore at one point questioning his own sexuality...when he was 3 years old.
Then Queen Latifah came out and in the aisles of the crowd they had a rainbow assortment of people holding hands and tearfully looking into their loved ones eyes as the notion crept into their head that at some point they'll have to face the sobering reality and painfully recount in their divorce years that they were married by Queen Latifah with a soundtrack of a Macklemore and Madonna mash-up.
And the rest was history
