Music Wench
Rock and Roll Grandma
Well, I haven't wanted to watch the Grammys in years. I think the final straw came when Jethro Tull was nominated for and won for Heavy Metal album. That just proved the Grammy people don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. I mean they actually beat out genuine heavy metal acts like Metallica I believe. Talk about lame.
In any case, that having been said. It's nice to see legitimate artists win for a change. U2 deserves all the recognition they deserve. Whether you like their music or not, they have proven for the last couple of decades that they are a force to be reckoned with and are still relevant today. After all these years they are still putting out top quality music and don't show any signs of slowing down. I hope the Bono bashers choke on that. [That wasn't aimed at anyone here by the way. So far people here who don't like him don't seem to be rabidly spitting out ignorant criticisms.] LOL
I did manage to catch the closing act and was glad to see rock generally still rules. I am so sick of hip hop and Kanye West. He's just one of those artists I just don't get. Seeing Bono praise him was like seeing Michael Stipe and company talk about the genius of Prince a few years back at another Grammy Awards show - another artist I don't get but people I do get and do admire and like seem to hold him in high esteem.
Oh well, times they are a changing as it were. However, rock still endures and that made me very happy. I was a bit disappointed to hear Paul McCartney didn't win anything though. Oh well, there's always next year or the year after.
