Comments on: The Grammys summed up nicely in a tweet http://exploremusic.com/show/the-grammys-summed-up-nicely-in-a-tweet/ THE place for Music Discovery Wed, 16 May 2012 21:14:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Darryl http://exploremusic.com/show/the-grammys-summed-up-nicely-in-a-tweet/#comment-3669 Darryl Fri, 05 Feb 2010 23:44:12 +0000 http://exploremusic.com/show/the-grammys-summed-up-nicely-in-a-tweet/#comment-3669 I personally boycott all awards shows because of the gratuitous and flatuous nature of them and the complete irrelevency in my life. They're almost as pertinent as those 5 Norwegian pinheads who give out peace prizes to presidents who are only setting up the entire world for war. On the other hand, it's been a long while since a song really captured my attention and lately, two have really done so: Stranglehold by Ted Nugent and Creed by Petra. Fantastic music and/or lyrics in both. Not that the award givers would ever have noticed. A pox on pop culture.

It sure beats the Black Eyed Peas "tonight's gonna be a good night" number. I was hoping to see Leonard Cohen though, someone actually deserving their Lifetime Achievement award and they get less screen time than Colbert's Christmas album.

One of the few guitarists who could pull it off so sweet and enjoy doing it so much. Best part was Jeff Beck playing those Les Paul licks on Les Paul and Mary Ford’s hit song “How High the Moon”.

And to add insult to injury... Neil Young gets his first Grammy - Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. Says it all. I will never ever watch this shite again. Ditto everyone.

One doesn't need to watch the show. Same thing as if a seeing-deprived(?) person goes to a concert and enjoys it, then all but the music is extraneous. Something like Lady GaGa's outfit wouldn't be such a big whoop. Long live radio! I always figure that if one can close one’s eyes, listen to the music and enjoy it, then it is good.

I love Mary J. Blige...do they know that the song Bridge Over Troubled Water is about drugs? Beyonce was way too much...self-indulgent. What the hell was Celine Dion wearing????? I didn't get the Black-eyed Peas at all. Way too much country and not enough of the good stuff...blues, rock... The only good part was the duet between Elton John and Lady Gaga. I love Mary J.
