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

As Falls Wichita... is one of the greatest albums ever.

Of course, omitting Lyle is par for the course these days from The Grammys.

Of course, omitting Lyle is par for the course these days from The Grammys.

I am saddened that in my opinion the in memoriam portion of the Grammy's is the only place they actually honor real musicians.

They’ll probably ignore Chick Corea next year.

I was busy sorting and arranging my sock drawer.

I turned on the TV and it was already tuned to the Grammy show. Saw an overweight black woman gyrating up or down some stairs. Quickly changed the channel to a a local PBS station that was ironically enough was showing a Lucy Worsley documentary on Queen Elizabeth I influence on English Choral Music. The singing, music and setting were, dare I say, actually beautiful in stark contrast to ugliness I saw on CBS.

Me too. We watched reruns of Murder, She Wrote on Peacock.

Did the unknown guy who sings at his restaurant or wherever get an award?

Back in the 1970s when I actually did watch the Grammies, it seemed that all my least favorite songs from the past year were winning the awards ("You Light Up My Life" anybody?)

Even four decades ago, it was a schmaltzy-affair mobbed with the predictably sleazy-looking record executives in their tuxedoes and the "stars of the moment" clacking to the stage in their nine-inch heels. Of which Debbie Boone was one. But I think her heels might have been a conservative 6 inches.

For comparison, here are winners etc. from 1971:
