Grammys: Lifetime Achievement

I’m watching the Grammy’s tonight (Why? Not sure. Missed U2’s performance, though I did enjoy Green Day) and I’m wondering how many lifetime achievement awards they’re going to give out. Every few minutes they’re dropping another one. I’m expecting to get mine any minute now.

Yeah, looks like I’m watching the Grammy’s and blogging a bit.

Right now some guy (Anthony LaPaglia) is introducing the All Star Tsunami Song–sheesh. This guy can’t read a teleprompter to save his life. Is it that hard to memorize what you’re going to say? You can buy the song on iTunes tonight? Cheese-o-rific, but that’s pretty cool (let’s see how long it takes them to put it up. As of 10:27 CT it’s still in production). These all star things are so hilarious. Who’s the old guy? And look, it’s Slash! And go Bono, leading the back-up vocals so we can be sure to hear you.

Norah Jones: “That’s still a great song.” You mean even though that crowd just butchered it?

And what was up with U2’s acceptance speech for “Vertigo”? Anybody know what Larry was talking about with the band almost not performing tonight or for the rest of the year? (UPDATE: “The band’s guitarist, the Edge, dedicated the latter award to his young daughter, Sian, who is reportedly suffering from leukaemia, although the band had not commented on the matter.” from Reuters — sounds like that may be the reason.)

Looks like someone tried to take a bite out of Sheryl Crow.

All I have to say about the Best Album of the Year award is thank goodness we didn’t have to watch Kanye West accept another award.

The Media Drop has some nice Grammy blogging.
