Run to Live, Live to Run

Ok, so the Grammys are a bit of a drag...ok, they SUCK...but why, do you ask?
Hmm, maybe starting with the fact that Madonna can't dance with anyone her own age, so they have to send in the cartoons...


Or maybe the fact that the ever more preciously annoying Kelly Clarkson thanks Jesus, God and her fans all in the same sob-filled sentence (some may find that moving, but personally I just can't stand the sight or sound of her)...



Or maybe the ever more growing ego machine to end all annoying ego machines, Kanye actually saying and acting surprised that he won, and then pulling maybe the most pretentious move in acceptance speech history...



But folks, the cake would have to go to Mr. Sly Stone, who I had actually been tuning in especially to see, disappearing before you had a chance to grasp the fact that a 61 year-old recluse felt the need to don a blonde mohawk that would make even Green Day feel old...


But wait, a highlight! An actual moment worth remembering...

Ok, so I'm a bit of a Bruce fan, well actually, a huge fan, so what...so he doesn't exactly approve of the current political administration...he can do whatever the hell he wants in my book...his 5-10 minutes of stage time almost made the other 3 gut wrenching hours worth stomaching...

So wow, thank you Grammys...can't wait until next year, but we don't have to wait that long considering we have the American Music Awards, Billboard music awards, MTV awards, People's Choice Awards, Latin Music Awards...thank you so much, because what would our lives be without them?
