[Partisan Hack]

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!

Damn! Rage is always good for a laugh.

However, Michael Kamen rocks, so this isn't a complete waste. I can't listen to his themes from "From the Earth to the Moon" or "Band of Brothers" without getting a bit misty. :)

Looked like three words. They panned away pretty fast.

[HennepinPrisoner]

The singer from Coldplay has something written on his hand.

And CBS cameras are cleverly avoiding showing it!

I love this! when the bigwigs at viaCON told them to pipe down, they did so obediently. Viacom is probably worried that album sales would plummet due to the anti-americanism on display. i think that concern shows that bush's position enjoys huge popular support. IMHO, if you can be quieted like this in the name of profits, you were also anti-war in the name of profits. everything these no-talent hacks do is to further their careers. so now it's official, they are all frauds. no big news there.

#635..I took my daughter to a Monkeys...concert 15 years ago, and didn't stuff anything in my ears.

I was deaf for 2 days!

[fjsva]

I saw the Stones at RFK...but that was in the 70's

[cajungirl]

Barry Mannilow concert attendee....*hanging head in shame*

[MoJo2001]

LOL! Yes, indeed!! I actually like Cake better than Beautiful South.

Kid Rock. I saw him on something quite a few months ago. He played for the troops. Did you see it?

I saw something he did on MTV a few months ago for the troops in Afghanistan. Not only did he play for the troops, but he actually hung around with one 19-year-old serviceman all day. Played guitar with him, taught him some new chords, and just seemed to be a really nice guy who was very appreciative of our troops over there. The nineteen-year-old was blown away. It was really special for him.

When he came on stage before the troops, he yelled, "I don't know where Osama Bin Laden is tonight, but I can tell you one thing - where ever he is, he's f#*king scared!"

They loved it.

Oh ye of little Faith..

I think you've hit the nail squarely on the head.

[mccann]

I've never heard of Coldplay. But they're pretty good.

[RayChuang88]

It doesn't look like any of the radical leftists have made it to the stage yet.

I think the threat of a potential consumer boycott against CBS, Viacom (CBS' parent company), the music industry, and the Grammy Award advertisers is good reason why the political speeches haven't appeared yet. :) This is the USA, not in Europe where anti-Americanism is a bit more tolerated. Besides, it would reflect really badly on the music industry if the anti-American sentiments ends up being rediculed on Rush Limbaugh's radio show, Sean Hannity's radio show, and Bill O'Reilly's radio show and TV show.

My best friend in high school dated a girl whose father made guitars. We were in the guitar shop behind the house when a guy just kinda walked up. The owner just called him Roy and pulled out a guitar that he'd made for him. "Roy tried the guitar, was happy with it, paid the owner, and left. "Roy" was Roy Orbison. I didn't realize it until after he'd left.

[FoxGirl]

Pat Boone always gave me the major creeps.

He gives me the creeps NOW. Have you seen him in his leather vest? Geeez!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Tony Bennett, the AlGore/BillClinton/Liberal clown of the Rat Pack Generation. If Frank Sinatra were still alive, he'd have Tony's @ss kicked for endorsing the liberal 'rats.

[smith288]

Coldplay sucks.... gawd...i thought radiohead was bad

[Samurai_Jack]

This song... "open up yer eyes" is repetetive and somewhat boring... Too much drama for so little content, Its like he is going to knock over that pieanee there...

A Jerry Lee Lewis impression... waiting for him to stomp it with his feet.

It wasnt all that...

I think the NY Philharmonic blew him away with their West Side Story rendition.

[weegee]

I think this is what it says:
