Loved ‘em. Watched every second and can’t think of a performance I didn’t like. Maybe a little bit too much Mary J. Blige, but that’s just me.
The kid rapper, Chris Brown, was amazing. So was Christina Aguilera and the Dixie Chicks. I’m sure the conservatives who broke ranks with them after Natalie Maines’ comments about George W. are thrilled with the pile of Grammys they won.
Being a music lover, it’s harder and harder to keep up the older I get. I don’t want to be one of those "old people" who loses touch with the mainstream music scene. So I try to buy as much of the new stuff as possible and at least have a working knowledge of what’s going on.
The tribute to Don Henley and the Eagles was pretty good, not great. Wasn’t crazy about the lead singer of Rascal Flatts trying to nail Hotel California and Life in the Fast Lane, but the guitar work was fantastic. And it was good to see Henley present the final Grammy of the night for best album to the Dixie Chicks, although I have to say I had a difficult time taking my eyes off of Scarlett Johannsen. I watched her in Match Point when I was sick last week and let’s just say she was fun to watch.
More to come this week. American Idol starts to cook now.

You should really watch the finals of the Westminster Dog Show Tuesday night on cable channel 28. As you race towards your golden years, comfort provided by a loving pooch can be far greater than one found on internet dating. The pooch will very seldom disappoint you.
