Da Grammy's

Yep It coulda been the drugs but I kinda feel like watching the Grammy’s last night was like watching a pet get put down..The music industry which is becoming more and more irrelevant every day with artists publishing, selling and finding new ways to promote their art..I mean the best song was a Michael Jackson tribute using his new song "Earth Song" which in my humble opinion was the best song played all night which was produced as a thank-you from the music business fucks that owe Jackson a big thank you for still paying them as he was their best selling artist of 09 and by the looks last night there isn't a whole lot of competition. Beyonce won six - a record for the most Grammy Awards won by a female artists in a single night, including Song of the Year for 'Single Ladies', and Jay-Z scored Best Rap Performance by a Solo Artist for 'D.O.A. (Death Of Autotune)'. Good times at their place later! Kings of Leon won Record of the Year for 'Use Somebody'. (Didn't they used to be smokin hot, the next super group? Now they look kind of swollen and gross) Leon Russell out rock stared them with his flowing white locks, ZZ Top beard,shades, stetson hat and pin stripe suit! (and he's recovering from brain surgery) As far as the RIP part with photo's and sound bites of the people who passed on during 09 that the recording industry deemed or selected I did notice one glaring omission Jay Reatard! Am I so naive as to believe that Jay Reatard’s recent passing at the early age of 29 was ever guaranteed recognition by the Grammy’s, but is it really that much of an imposition on the Recording Academy to include this big name from the “indie” music world in their “In Memoriam” montage . Yes finally there was a brief sighting of Slash, with the mix way to trebly;(its an adverb) for the sound at least at my house to do his playing any justice. Oh and a much to brief tribute to Les Paul which wasted the talents of one Jeff Beck whom on the cover of his best selling album Wired was clutching a Fender Strat (I know he had a Gibson on Blow By Blow) which brings me to the only other talent that impressed me which was Pink who brought the circus to her Grammy Awards 2010 performance.  (I'm sure all the years in Vegas living with Cory she must have seen Circus Soliel a few times) At first, she walked on stage and wore a silky white robe that covered her head to toe singing 'Glitter in the Air' from her Funhouse album, Pink suddenly dropped the robe to reveal a sheer bodysuit, climbed onto a white sheet and was lifted into the air. High above the stage, she spun in circles and continued to sing as water began to pour from above. The song wrapped with Pink spinning upside down and soaking wet. Let me tell you just seeing her walk off the stage in the big heels after spinning around that much almost impressed me more that how good Barbra Bach still looks....Ringo always was the shrewd one....Peace out.....
