The Grammy's

As some of the frequent readers and friends of this blog recall, I usually take great enjoyment in bagging all that is the Grammy's....but this year, it was REALLY hard!
I enjoyed it all! The performances were all spectacular! Some of the highlights for me were Cirque de Solei doing parts of Love by the Beatles and surprisingly, Amy Winehouse. Even with as much of a celebrity tabloid train wreck she has become of late, her performance via satellite of "You Know I'm No Good" (fitting don't you think) and "Rehab" (ditto) were right on the mark.

But, as always, one performance did not let down at all: the Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl is just so incredibly talented and the music is just THAT DAMN GOOD!

Now, let's just touch on Kanye West quickly; You Are Not All That, son! I can sympathize with his mother passing away, but his proclamation that the Grammy's was his was just the stuff vomit piles are made of...way to put a BLACK spot on an institution that will forever surpass your talent. Get A Grip!

Ok...that's it for this year's Grammy run down....short and sweet.....go get the new Foo Fighter cd if you don't have it!
