The Grammys suck. It’s political not merit based. Look at the spoken word winners for the past 20 years.

Still brings a wry smile to my face. Also they have really been showing a lot Beatles stuff on VH1 this past week to promote the release of the Rock Band...

They couldn’t carry Ray Coniff’s jock...

Or Mozart’s, for that matter.
But how ‘bout we stay in the same arena. Ray Coniff and the Anita Kerr singers being compared to the Beatles? It’s not even apples and oranges. More like apples and mosquito repellant.

After the Grammys in 1964 — during the peak of Beatlemania "Beatlemania" may have been at its peak in America in 1964 but those first 4 albums were packed with cover tunes. The highpoint came later and even then they weren't acknowledged.

I'm right in the middle of a book called "Hotel California". With the perspective that book gives on this and other goings on at the time, this is very interesting indeed.
http://www.amazon.com/Hotel-California-True-Life-Adventures-Mitchell/dp/0470127775/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1252430892&sr=1-1 Worthwhile read for anybody interested in the Geffen thing and the whole California mysic scene coming of age. Adds perspective to the meaning of the song Hotel California as well...

Big deal.
The grammies as with all awards shows are simply too political.

I’m almost 56 and was never an Eagles fan. Then I saw their Farewell I tour DVD. I was blown away. I now own both their DVD concerts and all their vinyl. That Melbourne concert is amazing. Joe Walsh is a hoot and the musicianship, light show and arrangements are absolutely outstanding.

My band just started doing some of this stuff. It's really fun to play:
I'm getting a feeling we are getting out of a "dead time" in pop music similar to the one Michael Jackson got us out of when "Sailing" By Christopher Cross won song of the year.

I got this album at a garage sale just so I would have a copy of what I think is the dumbest "popular" song ever to hit the charts. I'm overtly aware of the song whenever someone mentions one-hit-wonders and other similar subjects.
That song grates on me, although Dr. Hook did a great cover of it. And you KNOW what song I'm talking about. :)

That’s been my take since I was about 30, when I started paying attention. That was around 1980. I stopped watching award shows in the mid-80’s.
