lame....

ok, so we spent the evening watching the cma awards......as a diversion to watching the stormtracker map of ky and the scrolling counties with tornado watches........and while i am grateful that we dodged any damage in these parts......i consider the endeavor a waste of time when music is factored in.....most of the country acts sang lackluster songs in torn jeans or poorly designed outfits........i was most unimpressed.....granted...allyson krauss sang like an angel, but won nothing...while the hot acts won for no apparent reason.....lee ann womack's songs were catchy, and i really liked her green dress.....dolly parton sang with elton john just before the event was over......and both her number and her getup showed a disgraceful lack of judgement.....she no longer has the voice for songs that allow her to sing without backup.....she sounded tinny and flat.....elton wasn't in particularly good form, either......there were several such pairings....of rock/pop folks singing with country types...given the nyc locale......i did enjoy willie nelson singing paul simon's still crazy after all these years....mostly because the sentiment is so true.....and willie has made a name for himself with his distinctively offkey voice.......ah well.....my daughter is so disappointed that she has school today.....somehow she got it in her head that it would snow today.....tornado on tuesday and snow on wednesday........who knew?
