Madonna looks like Meredith Baxter Birney in Family Ties on an episode where as the zany cap on a wacky show it turned out that when Stephen stopped at Victoria's Secret the clerk mixed up his box with someone else's and he didn't notice until Elise put it on.
U2: You just keep me hangin' on. Put down the microphone stand. Go home. You're done. When Mick Jagger rocks harder than you do, that's it. It's time to cover the strobe light, take off the shades and pack it up. And excuse me? Can we dial 911 and report the mixing board that ate Mary J. Blige? Somebody open up a can of whack and commence to engage the whackery? Thank you. Ain't nobody "carrying each other" here. Ms. Blige got Bono thrown over one shoulder and The Edge thrown over t'other and she totin'.
Kanye West's thank-you list: "...my mom..."
Enough with the standing O's.
Best Rock Album. The choice includes Coldplay, Foo Fighters, U2, Neil Young, and ... The Rolling Stones? And U2 wins? They just keep hanging on. They can't even get the bloody NOMINEES right. Do you remember what WAR sounded like? Now that was a RECORD. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" was a HIT. That was music that got people up out of their cars seat with the muscles on their necks standing out like guy wires. THAT WAS ROCK AND ROLL.
Paul McCartney, Helter Skelter. MEMO TO TIVO USERS. FFWD to 1:20. Listen repeatedly.
Kelly Clarkson beat Paul McCartney. And who is she thanking. WHO IS
SHE THANKING? Radio play consultants and managers and sacks of people
with MBAs. SEND LEVIATHAN AND BEHEMOTH. The Day of Reckoning is upon
us.
Kanye West and Jamie Foxx: This is why we have the Grammys. Live
performance. This is why we have MUSIC. Something new, something fresh,
a reason to listen and to think and to hear in depth. A reason to feel
like you were present at something special.
I don't think we even need to say how we feel about U2 winning Album of the Year. Some times we can't know why unchecking the default is a ghosted option. At least Bono was gracious.
