2012 Grammy Awards

I know, but her picture certainly belonged in the RIP montage. Same for Cornelius, it just looks like an oversight.

 

Very few of the categories were even a question in my mind.

I said right before Album of the Year that I wouldn't hate it if Bruno Mars stole one, but her winning another was just fine.

 

No, the Beatles one, a quick 20-something second blurb at the finale of the Golden Slumbers medley, which Macca performed tonight.

His backing band is excellent. They do a great job during his marathon shows.

 

I was teasing Shottie. I saw some of it. Not bad.

 

Teased, and I didn't even feel it. You need to work on that.

Seriously, though, in how many homes throughout America was somebody asking, "Who's the third guy and the last guy?"

I'm picturing McCartney hiring these two guys around 1997 with the promise, "You give me 15 good years, and at the 2012 Grammys ..."

 

You know how in some areas, it seems like you see the same opening act before every concert? When I was in high school in southern California, I probably saw The Living Daylights five times, always opening for someone. That was Rusty Anderson's band, long before he hooked up with McCartney. He's pretty good on his own.

 

1. Where the hell is Phil?
2. Taylor Swift has to try to look poor, and fails miserably.
3. I admit I was fooled by the "blackout" during the first part of the Katy Perry performance.
4. Apparently, working mics were optional for Jason and Kelly.

 

As the father of a 2-year-old girl, this makes me feel like the bar for being a good dad can't be that high. Clearly these women were raised by wolves/pimps/characters from a Stieg Larson novel.

Somebody shoulda told McCartney that Table 12 needs dinner rolls.

 

That's extremely disturbing. Collective self-esteem in that group is about a 4.2.

 

See, one day you're blasting hollow bullets into your daughter's laptop, next thing you know she's tweeting @ Chris Brown to beat her.

 

I didn't watch the Grammys because, really, I'm not a music guy. Sometimes people think that's weird, but really, I'll listen to it on the radio, buy a few *albums here or there, but I'm not the kind of person who would spend $50 or more on a concert unless there's a girl involved.

All that said, Jennifer Hudson killed it with her rendition of "I Will Always Love You." Someone posted a link to the video on Facebook and, damn, that girl has some pipes. She was a great selection to sing that song.

And from reading this thread, I kinda wish I had watched to see the Foo Fighters. I might just buy their *album now.


*Until a few years ago, I would have just said their "CD." But that doesn't work anymore. It's not a record, a cassette or a CD anymore. It's not a thing. I didn't want to say I'd download their binary code, so I went with album. It's the best I've got.
