Grammys Turn 50
This past Sunday night was pretty dreadful for television so I found myself watching the 50th Edition of the Grammys. I used to watch music award shows all the time , but as I aged the music and I grew more distant. I guess every generation splits with previous generations over music . I know my parents thought the Beatles meant the the end of civilization, and I think maybe they were right. John and George are both dead and Sir Paul is battling his one time wife for what may be the biggest divorce settlement in British history. Little old trashy Ringo seems to be a survivor and is doing well , at least by the looks of the blonde babe on his arm. Music awards have always been a spectacle , yet this one was somewhat sedate by MTV standards. This Rap guy Kaeyne West did some strange stuff and wore these lit -up glasses like in a sci-fi movie with radiation, and he made the program stop playing music to finish his thank yous for some award.Later on this emaciated , tattooed crack girl won 5 awards , including best song. She was in England and thanked her mama and incarcerated husband. Later on Natalie Cole was angry because the Electric Glasses guy didn't win enertainer of the year because this crack babe did , and she felt this set a bad example considering the tattoo girl's past substance abuse. It's not exactly like they're all lily white. I think they all become rich and famous to buy drugs. I saw Joe Walsh in the stands . Way to go Joe!!Eagles new Wal Mart CD is not my favorite, but rumor is they're going on tour this year. Fergie sang my least favorite song on the Duchess CD, and didn't look her best, but she is still hot. They drug Cher out of some rest home and she introduced Beyonce and Tina Turner as they sang a couple off of Private Dancer and then Proud Mary.Tina is 68 years old and should have gracefully declined to dance on stage, at least with Beyonce and the backup dancers. The Tina Turner I want to remember had the sexiest legs on earth and that wild spiked wig, not the Tina Turner dancing with Miss Knoles. Beyonce is beautiful and immensely talented , but she will enter her later years with a lot of booty.Speaking of big, Aretha sang a holy roller song with a gospel choir and man, is she a big woman. I think she had better lose a lot of weight or she won't be around long. I think she eats more than she sings. Remember her part in the Blues Brothers Movie? I miss John Belushi. I think he was the funniest natural comedian of all times. Animal House will never be topped. I saw Faith Hill in one of those PR shots, and maybe the angle was bad ,but her derriere looked as big as Arethas. She was still pretty in the face.I think Brittany was under institutional arrest or something because she wasn't there.Michael Jackson was not seen, but he was probably raising his family or super-gluing his latest nose back on.Fame does really bizarre things to people. I saw the artist formerly known as Prince, and currently again as Prince, and he introduced csomething. He is at least consistent, and very talented. I think his consistency has something to do with being from the cold Minnesota area.All in all it wasn,t the worse Award show but it certainly wasn't the best. They even had Ludakris under control. I didn't see Snoop Dog or Flavr Flav but I guess they're too old now. I miss Bobby Brown and Whitney and a little bit of Ozzie, along with Bill Clinton. Life isn't as entertaining to us country boys without Bubba in the White House. I'm going to buy this Crack Girls CD because it maybe good. She won entertainer of the year for something. What ever happened to Norah Jones?? Whatever happened to Michelle Branch , and her rise to fame with Carlos Santana? Where is Charlotte Church?? Country music seems to be in a slump. Where's Alan Jackson when we need him ? Everything seems to be normal after the awards but I wish WPBK would quit playing that stupid Convoy song early in the mornings. I've hated that song since it first played. I've sincerely had an overload of the Rubber Duck. I wonder if Bubba misses Monica??
