GRAMMY, HOW I LOVE YA, HOW I LOVE YA
I did not watch the Grammys last night (nor was I at Jose Canseco's party, and I can prove it) but faithful Johntourager Tupelo did. She sends the following observations:
--Carrie Underwood is really cute. And I know I'm not a guy, but putting her in hot pants and trying to make her sexy is like trying to do the same thing with a puppy. Doesn't work and should raise the eyebrows of the appropriate authorities.
--Shouldn't there be some kind of time limit on Beatles' songs (remixes or otherwise) from being allowed to win Grammys? The soundtrack to 'Love' beat 'Once'?!? Why should anyone ever bother making original music again? And, this means we have to listen to Ringo try and pretend he was any kind of creative force. Ugh.
--Andy Williams and Tony Bennett shouldn't have been forced to leave the home for this. The teleprompter is totally confusing them. Soooo uncomfortable. And I bet they are pissed they are missing tapioca night and 'Cocoon 2'.
--Tina Turner is hot. And almost 70. I hate her. And so wish she would knock Beyonce off the stage.
--I have an ongoing issue with CBS...have you seen their promos for their lineup? Almost everyone BUT 'How I Met Your Mother'*. What? And why is no one else watching this show? What is wrong with you people?!?!?!?!?!?
**J-Dub blog by-laws normally prohibit the use of "How I Met Your Mother" when "How I Melt Your Mother" is available. We allowed it this time. But don't try it again, Tupelo.
I am officially horrified at modern country music. Brad Paisley is on stage, wearing more glitter than a drag queen at Pride, singing a song with the lyric 'I'd like to check you for ticks'. Oh. My. God.
--Kanye West is immensely talented. Truly. And immensely insufferable. TRULY.
My favorite gay blogger just wrote something I wish I had- he wondered how many more sports Will Ferrell will make a movie spoofing. He can only hope the next is the biathalon...and there is an onset accident. Heh.
--Vince Gill is officially my hero. Did you see? His award was presented by Ringo Starr and Dave Stewart, and he said, ' I just got presented an award by a Beatle. Can you say that Kanye?' I...LOVE...HIM!!!
--'Rhapsody in Blue' is totally boss. No snark here; it still enthralls me over 30 years after hearing it for the first time.
--Just in time for Black History Month...Martin Lawrence, Raven, and Jackee' in a movie with eye-rolling, finger-snapping, and more uncomfortable cliches galore! What, Cuba Gooding, Jr. wasn't available? I know Dr. King would be proud.
-- Is that Jerry Lee Lewis or is this 'Weekend at Bernies 3D'? I'm seriously not sure he's even alive.
Little Richard. I won't say anything, because I don't want to offend African-Americans, gays, drag queens, wig-wearers, molestache-wearers or Porter Waggoner (who evidently posthumously donated his suit.)
--Flight of the Conchords won Best Comedy Album! Now THAT was a speech I'd love to hear...Murray calling roll for the people he'd like to thank...'God? Is he present? Speak up!'
That's Tupelo, folks. She'll be here all week...

Good stuff. Easy on Paisley. Very clever writer. No need to take him too seriously.
And it's soooooo sad that I know this, but they already did a "Cocoon 2." Even Guttenberg came back for it. Why do I know that? I think it was even called "Cocoon 2: Tapioca Night."
Thanks, G.A. I'll try and give Paisley another chance, but he was so bedazzled and bejeweled, it left me bewildered.And the checking for ticks thing...he lost me there. I live in the Deep South. Parasites, internal or external, are no joke and not romantic at all. He may as well have said, 'I'd like to check you for worms'. *shudder*
I've found it's always good form to avoid the word "worms" in lyrics, and I think that's a crossover policy that works even in hip-hop. Unless you're referencing the Edict of Worms, and then it's okay.
hey love ya dude!!!!!!
