ROCKIN' GRAMMYS

Tonight some people came over to watch the Grammys. ROCK MUSIC PEOPLE!!!! There were some great rock performances. (U2, Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen...) Not to mention a nice tribute to Sly Stone with Steven Tyler & Joe Perry, Maroon 5, John Legend & Robert Randolph, among others... & the man Sly himself!! How about that crazy glue-on mohawk!!?? So it was great to not only see rock bands winning the awards again, but to see live performances that weren't either Limp Bizkit, Creed, Korn, etc... or stupid 4-minute "mash-ups" of 3 rock bands. I couldn't have been happier to see Kanye West loose out the "Record of the Year" & "Album of the Year" to Green Day & U2. Sorry, I read his "Rolling Stone" article- he needs to come down a few notches. And what's the deal with Jamie Foxx thinking he really is Ray Charles?? Enough already!!
Sometime during the evening, Paul & Joe got a little too cozy... a little creepy...

Then, the Beastie Boys rocked the mic on "The Late Show" - promoting their new "Awesome: I #@$**%' Shot That!" DVD...
(They did a show at Madison Square Garden where they gave 50 fans in the audience handheld Hi8 cameras -along with their own camera crew- & then edited the footage) So Dave Letterman gave some fans in the theater handhelds as well as he & Paul, & they cut back & forth with all those shots. It was pretty cool.

Then, to top off the music-filled evening, Sigur Ros performed live on Conan O'Brien, complete with a glockenspiel. So overall, a great night of good music.
