Granny’s Grammys
by Michael
I watched the Grammys last night. For the most part, I agreed with Bono's statement that it was one of the best Grammy Award shows ever. The performances were OK, except for the opening sequence of truncated songs and the Lynard Skynard medley.
But then they had to go and give Ray Charles the Album and Record of the Year awards. I know that it shouldn't be a surprise that a recently "Legend" should get an award posthumously, but they were doing so well at awarding real talent and artistry before those awards.
I just don't see how an album of Charles' old material reworked for duets could be better than Green Day's "American Idiot". All the other nominees in both categories had more substance and creativity than "Genius Loves Company" album.
