ELO & Annie Lennox stole the show from the young’ns last night.

Seems to be threatening something like that.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall and this guy is due for a wipe out of epic proportions.

Dresses, despite popular wisdom, do not make one look fat. fat makes one look fat.

They were both great! Madonna needs to take some lessons from Annie Lennox about aging gracefully.

I am not surprised that Beck won. Often the Grammys are giving to new or not so well known performers as a way to promote them.

I caught some of the Grammys, because to get a list of school closures because of bad weather. Saw Annie Lennox last night and she dressed by today’s standards, modest and graceful.

Never heard of Beck until this morning. Did play a song of Beck called “Heaven’s Ladder”. Very good song.

During the week, I deal with talk radio and sports. On the weekends I will more likely do music.

Biggirl, here’s his most famous song - the one that made him a star a little over 20 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgSPaXgAdzE

In that song he combines hip-hop and rock.

When I saw the song video, “Heaven’s Ladder”, I was thinking of a couple of ladder rosaries I have in my house as well as the famous icon of the picture of the ladder that goes to Heaven.

Shoot the puck Barry were the famous words of announcer Bill Chadwick. Chadwick had nearly as many Chadwickisms as Yogi had Yogiisms. Great announcer.

Ah, Bill Chadwick or the "Big Whistle" as he was called by his booth mate. Thanks for the memory.

I believe this is the second time he has made a racist statement, the last one coming against Taylor Swift or something like that.

“I’m 36-years old and I have 21 Grammys.” —K. West

Nobody has ever expressed a more convincing argument that the Grammys are complete and utter garbage.

Oh, so perfect, Ransomed.

Kanye West has 21. He won them from 2004 to 2012.

Johnny Cash has 19. He won them from 1968 to 2008.

Bob Dylan has 11. He won them from 1973 to 2010.

Led Zeppelin has 4. All ‘Grammy hall of Fame’, whatever the hell that is.

I mean come on.

What an open-minded, diverse and tolerant this Kanye fella. /sarc.


He’s so open-minded, his brain fell out.

Kanye CLEARLY has a medium two digit IQ. But his ego is astronomical.

The man cannot sing at all. He can’t keep tune and his voice is atrocious. He proved it last night with that last bit of song where even the autotune ditched him.

He is rude and Beyoncé is just a very beautiful whore. Sorry but I just don’t see the amount of talent others do in Beyoncé. For one, Taylor Swift is a real genius as well as a musical one. And this Beck guy obviously has talent. Beyoncé can sing, her voice is fine. She has one of the most pretty faces Gd doled out. And she can mime sex very well, but so can most of the planet — it’s just that they choose not to, on stage. And her lyrics are mostly about sex and then a female “empowerment” message thrown into her persona as if it wipes her clean of just being a sexual fantasy.

I don’t think you ever see Kanye without that nasty attitude on his face. He’s rich, got a beautiful wife and kid, but how does he manage to carry that chip around all day? It’s bigger than he is.

I doubt he could control whether his mother had all that fat removed. I’m very sad about that. I know the brother of the doctor that did it. He is a plastic surgeon too, dealing mostly with facial surgery, mostly working with boxers. He’s done all the big famous ones. He did up my baby at around two when he fell on a sharp wooden bannister. He’s a good guy.

Kanye is a total ahole but his song about his mama and his little girl did make me cry. I’m ashamed to admit it.

This is the mental giant who named his son “North”.


Just so you know, his son has a vagina.

Annie Lennox!!!!! She was amazing. Hasn’t lost anything. Sorry but Madonna has. She double looped her voice so you couldn’t tell quite how crappy it is. I was hoping the horned creatures would win and carry her off.
