BB King was just asked about political comments during the war and he said "I think that there are going to be alot of things said tonight that I don't agree with."

Way to go B.B!

[torchthemummy]

no clapping from the crowd, or cheers, once country music comes up. Losers!

[Paul Atreides]

[MoJo2001]

P. Diddy should do us all a favor and go on a permanent vacation. He gets on my last nerve!

[sheik yerbouty]

Very inproved!

[Exit148]

"L* I typically don't watch the Grammys cause they don't play my type of music (AC/DC, Metallica, Ozzy, Disturbed....etc etc...)"

We have something in common, ------ because they don't play my type of music, either. (Classical, Opera, traditional Chinese, Feng Shui,... etc---)

HeeHee!

My daughter is dreading the day!

When she looks like you or when you look like your mother?(:>)

I haven't seen Anchor Bay's DVD of Two Lane Blacktop, but I do have their earlier laserdisc :)

Thats true. You know, I'm only watching this because I want to see who would insult our President at a time like this.

Maybe this was a ploy by CBS to get more people watching. And I fell for it.

[MoJo2001]

Has anyone spewed any Anti-American, Anti-Bush, Anti-War crap yet? If not, that's pretty amazing.

[torchthemummy]

my theory that if you perform and are up for a grammy, you win. What a crock! I'm sure Vegas isn't taking bets since this flaw is perring through.

[Plainsman]

I read a couple of days ago that the Grammy producers threatened to cut the mike on anyone using the event to make anti-war statements. Looks like the threat might be working, but the night is still young with two hours to go. Still, I thought the notoriety associated with actually having your mike cut while live on national television would provoke the opposite intended effect. Like moths to bare lightbulb, I thought bunches of these clowns would have fluttered across the line by now.

By the way, I've noticed over recent years that pretty much anyone that is up for an award and performs - wins!!

Best way to make sure the winner shows up is to include them in the show itself.

Eminem amuses me, though I haven't actually purchased any of his CDs.

I love his feuds. How can you not love a guy that can make homos and Lynn Cheney furious at the same time?

BTW, I'll bet almost-rapper Kid Rock is gonna send a shout-out to the troops overseas. He's probably one of the few people up there who likes Bush better than Saddam.

[cajungirl]

I've been half watching,,haven't heard any anti war talk,,has it happened??? And what was wrong with Simon and Garfunckle,,they looked and sounded like they were in a major depression???

[MoJo2001]

Oh! Just heard (while JW was on commercial break) that Coldplay was going to be playing something live. So? I guess we'll have our answer shortly!!

Nothing so far. I'm shocked myself.

Grammys just started here in the Mountain Time Zone ... so no anti-American crap yet ;-) Dustin Hoffman looks like he just rolled out of bed.

On a personal note - I like your tagline. I see you are a Navy wife. My boyfriend is in the Air Force and deployed to the ME.

Vanessa Carlton is hot too..
