The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards: Gasp, yikes, yawn, ahh: Three-and-a-half hours of glitz, skin-tight dresses, and "history." At least politics was nowhere

Likely a fractional audience watched this, because it is so deliberately in yo' face, and covered with pustules of profanity barely bodiced. But overall, vulgarity of a high order goes out to the participants, who, of course, don't give a farthing for either propriety or civility — one bedecked glittery adiposity slipped and let out a four-letter slur, and feigned embarrassment any number of pretend times.

Production values, as they say in the biz, were as glitzy as were the frou-frowsy skin-tight dresses of most of the female awardees. Lights, backgrounds, highlights, settings to try to out-blind the gyrations and vulgar preenings of the backup "singers" almost dressed to provoke the Good Housekeeping Seal of Disapproval.

Cancel Disney, Dr. Seuss, and Pepé, but let these torrid pretend seducers writhe suggestively all over the stage?

My tweet:

"El 63rd #Grammy profanity is a gaudy,tawdry,mostly black-artist overfed feast of vulgarity, helmed by non-funny,frenetic TrevorNoah, w/all the crude lyrix+personae U cd wish4 if U don't have impressionable kids. Inarticulate artists in speech, lavishly vernacular in pre-arrest bling; rank it low on substance."

A exception to the rhyming nonsense of most of the artists, in both lyricism and apparel — a medieval dress with glistening gold and colorful pastiche, to the ground — performing in a pergola hut of sorts set in a bucolic, forested glen of some misty sort, Taylor Swift, who comes by her many awards, at least, honestly.

Harry Stiles was more than tolerable. Billie Eilish was also melodic. Bad Bunny, most downloaded of all artists last year, we are told, was appropriately oafish and entirely en español, running through a series of giant-sized metallic rib-struts. And memorials to the famed departed.

Host Trevor Noah mocked the idea of knowledge when he urged the audience seated on the dais in matchy-matchy masks to applaud more feverishly for Beyoncé’s 28 Grammy wins, the most for a female singer, ever: “C’mon, people, this is history! It’s history! Beyoncé is making history.”

Sure, yeah.

At least politics was nowhere. No slams against our previous president, no praise for the sleeper-in-chief currently in residence chez 1600 Pennsylvania.

You’ll find the same in the unrecognizable Country Music Awards these days. What a degraded culture.

We watched 2 episodes of The Office and 2 of The Andy Griffith Show. Didn’t even know the Crammys was on.

None of the Jazz or Latin Jazz categories are ever televised, and I don’t give a crap about any of the pop drivel.

All the highlights are on YOUTUBE. For me, I have better things to do with my time.

Beyoncé cannot sing. She lip syncs to computer.
Cardi B I read did her sick twisted stripper act.

I think Pat Metheny’s first album since Lyle’s loss was nominated.

We watched 2 episodes of The Andy Griffith Show ...

It's amazing how entertaining that show remains 50 years later.

I learned “Letter From Home” on piano. One of my faves.

I have not watched TV shows in over a year, not even the news. I see I have not missed anything.

Got lots of good old DVD movies so who needs TV or radio. I have not listened to radio in thirteen years except during the last ice storm about seven years ago. Don’t need it.

Why would they exclude Lyle, that’s plain odd.
