Keep in mind that your parents thought you were going to Hell because of elvis shaking his hips. It is all relative. I can only imagine what the youngsters today will be complaining about 30 years from now. It is funny how people have said on other threads that they have not watched in over 30 years....well you are too old to be watching the Grammy’s anyway. Stay with your Lawrence Welk show. I didn’t watch either and I am 44...why too old to be paying attention to this type of show. Let the youngins enjoy their show.
Highway to Hell
No comparison, not even close.
Then it ain't a reunion. Ringo has played with Paul many times since the Beatles broke up.
So. All just very sick and totally disconnected from Americans that actually fuel this country and try to propel it to a solvent future.
I’m just wondering by Beyoncé’s now short hair style if her processed hair extensions got recalled.
Definitely a “Freak Show”
Still can’t believe that guy briefly replaced Jon Anderson in “Yes”.
But Drama wasn’t a half bad album.
rationalizing the truth away.
what a horrible depressing spectacle. hard to believe music has moved from true innovation such as Louis Armstrong, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Bix Beiderbicke, Ray Charles, Billie Holliday, Aaron Copeland, The Beatles and entire British Invasion group of artists, Rogers and Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein who wrote the unbelievably beautiful “west side story”, Carol King, James Taylor, Crosby Stills and Nash, Elton John, YES, Genesis, Eric Clapton, Miles Davis... and on and on....
I could only watch 15 minutes of that crap. Last year’s Grammys gave me more hope...
agreed.. Drama was not half bad.. not great but it had some good moments.
I think it was some of Steve Howe’s best guitar work. Tempus Fugit is one of my all-time favorite Yes songs.

“Keep in mind that your parents thought you were going to Hell because of elvis shaking his hips.”
I think that’s quite exaggerated, a type of historical urban legend.
Still, to the extent there is truth in it, it is clear now, more than 50 years later, that they were right!
You must be young.
"Tha....greatest band of all time is...uh...will...always be...in my heart. They are the greatest band of all..."
Then he turned and walked away. Better living through chemicals?
If you like Jon Anderson, let me share with you one of my favorite Sola Jon efforts; Olias of Sunhillow, from about 1978. Very spacey, esoteric, something The Hobbits would sing during a gathering, if you will. My favorite three cuts are rather short, but I have never forgotten them. They are #1. Meeting (Garden of Geda), sort of a Gregorian chant with synthesizer and islander’s percussion. #2. Ocean; A very spare, elegant weaving melody, with lots of whole notes, leaves you satisfactorily transported. #3. Dance of Raynart; The first moments after a summer rain, ground still steaming, you hear harp string glissandos and clarinettes. Try it, you’ll like it!
If that happened, (Ozzy forgetting the name Beatles) he probably did it on purpose, a little passive aggression defiance. Maybe Ozzy is just a little tired of playing Homage to the distant past, when it doesn’t include him or his genre. I love many things about The Beatles together and apart, but I’m of that generation. Aren’t people of today who are say, under 40, tired of hearing us rave about our music heroes, or has no one truly replaced them in the long run. While growing up in 1960’s, I don’t remember hearing so much play of 1940’s music.
