Okay -so you're kidding me, right? Did anyone watch the Grammy's last night?? Lemme get this straight - The Police...THE POLICE are back together for the first time in forever, and they get one song. ONE SONG? And while Roxanne is great and probably their most well-known song, it's not even close to their best and THAT's how they open the Grammy's??? ONE SONG? And I have to listen to not 1, not 2, not 3 but FOUR songs by Rascal Flatts and Carrie Underwood saluting a country artist whose name is escaping me and Don Henley of the Eagles. Now I love Don Henley as much as the next guy - but seriously? 3 Eagles songs PERFORMED BY SOMEONE ELSE and ONE Police reunion song? Seriously?
And where were the great duets/group sings that the Grammy's are known for? They had the singer/songwriter set , which was really just the 3 artists playing their own deal with the others bringing in the occasional harmony. And John Mayer makes me throw up in my mouth a little - I just can't stand him - sorry to his fans. It's that muppet-like thing he does with his tongue and that half-lisp half-whisper singing style. I just can't do it. Boy can play, though - and his lyrics are great. John Legend, however, could sing me the phone book and I would swoon.
How much plastic is involved in keeping Smoky Robinson's face together, exactly? I love the man, I do, and he sounded good - but I've owned baby dolls in my youth whose faces were softer.
How do I love the Dixie Chicks, let me count the ways. I think they won every category they were in - so take that Reba! I know she was just loving every minute of her introduction about "honoring Texans" in music - don't even get me STARTED on that one. And then she gets a big kick in the ass when her honoree comes out and declares his love for the Chicks. AWESOME. I though Natalie could have been a little less dramatic - the fact that they were winning everything was statement enough.
And then? THEN I was completely underwhelmed by the Chili Peppers...I know the new album is supposed to be brilliant, but it's the GRAMMY'S, and no matter how much Flea jumps around, it's not going to make that song a show stopper.
How is your Monday? Snow is a comin' for those of us south of the river...

I didn't watch the Grammy's so I don't have anything to say.
Another average performance at bowling last night. 487 series...I did beat Eggo's husband Rich thought...:)
Smell ya later!
Hey Reb-
Did your Dad see the car that smashed into the tree at the bottom of Mom's (Joy's) drive way? The guy just left it there...
Seriously?
I'll have to ask him...I'm kind of surprised that doesn't happen more often with people coming around that bend.
You didn't miss much...it was kind of a yawn fest.
I must be getting old, because I had absolutely zero interest in watching the Grammys.
Instead I watched an Inside the Actors Studio, which was very entertaining. Although I can't stop seeing Will Farrell portray the interviewer guy...great skit from SNL.
Rebecca, just helped down a bottle of really nice South American Malbec. You woulda loved it - beutiful color, great complex flavor, everything you want in a red.
Oh, the Grammy's? Didn't watch them. I hate being disappointed in the difference between the recording and what they really sound like live. There are very few performers who sound as good live as they do on their recordings.
Watched a little of the Grammy's. Flipped back and forth to other things. I agree with you on the Police. Can't believe how BIG Stevie Wonder has gotten.
Yeah, had a little excitement Sunday. The police were calling out the drug sniffing dog when Jim picked me up. All cleaned up when we came home. Took pictures 'cause it's a first for the Mamala.
