Just wondering how many "liked" the Grammy "Circus" last night???? After watching & listening to "most" (not all)of that, you can't help but realize it is ALL about $$$$ & HYPE!!!
Why can't they have a good show with a line up & awards for all "venues" of music with equal time and representation??
Ya........I'm an OLD FART!!!

I didn't watch it but I heard Steve Wariner got an award for his Tribute To Chet Atkins album. Since I didn't see it could someone verify this?
Steve has to be one of the most talented and nicest guys I know. |

| I've gotta say, there was more suits and ties than I thought. More than on the GOO in a whole weekend. Neil I missed Lady Gaga, did she use a steeler? How about that Pink performance, where was the garden hose. |

As I said, there were a FEW good points, But all & all I think the complete package SUCKED!
When they give an award to a true "Musical" talent, why do they just mention it, and do it off camera?????? If Steve Wariner got an award, then LET HIM PLAY a tune!

It is definitely a celebrity and record label-driven event. We know it's largely not about talent, especially with regard to the popular pop/country/rock categories. The more obscure categories seem to still have some integrity. Having said that, Jonathan Winters' incredible spoken word album A Very Special Time (co-production and composition by our own Skip Edwards) lost to a Michael J. Fox recording. Therefore, maybe the weight of celebrity carries over into all areas.

He probably smoked a ciggie, but he did nothing on guitar per the JB we know and love, but it was cool to see him on a Les Paul again, hope it ain't the last time!
Let me qualify that with, I only saw the How High The Moon clip. Did he do anything else? |

| Is there a Parallel Univers that Pop and Country Music has slipped into ? This music must be for the "Cretans" as written about by H.G. Wells. |

| I enjoyed Beck also, and I was really proud of my pal Clay Cook and his stunning vocal turn in the first segment of the Zac Brown set. Man, that boy can sing. |

That's why I don't watch awards shows or stay informed about what's hot in the entertainment industry. I've got better ways to waste my time.

I enjoy the Grammys the way I enjoy Miss America pageants--not much substance, but tons of eye candy. It usually has its moments. My favorite moment was seeing Leon Russell, who I read here has not been well.

Levon Helm's 'Electric Dirt' album won the first ever "Americana" GRAMMY, and it was produced by Larry Campbell. Also Taylor Swift's producer(Nathan Chapman) won a few and he plays steel on her records.
