the grammys......

ok, so i sat up last night and watched the grammys.....just because, i suppose....i was not even sure who would perform.....and i was surprised at the level of spectacle offered.......i especially enjoyed the tribute to janis joplin by 16-yearold joss stone......who pranced in tie-dye and wavey tendrilled hair....and truly sounded like janis at her acid-test best......in a duet with melissa etheridge....who played a mean guitar whilst quite bald from recent chemotherapy for breast cancer......and she, too.....can manage the janis-quality raspy blues sound.......i enjoyed their piece immensely.....as i enjoyed bonnie raitt and billy preston's tribute to ray charles........and the u-2 piece.......i did enjoy the pieces by maroon-5 and franz ferdanand......and i wanted to like john mayer's piece.....but it seemed a tad lame to me.....and i was happy to see led zepplin int he audience....their to accept their 'hall of fame' or whatever status as a rock group.......and so today i am really tired.....my body can no longer stay up til 11:30 without ill results......
