Wonderland or Not

Being 45 and only having so much time(so I tend to choose music I already like when listening) I did not recognize many faces at the show. Like Soulja Boy. I was going Huh? while they gushed over him on the Red Carpet. I also refuse to listen to rap which I find too misogynistic for my tastes. Not to mention all that base gives me headaches.
I know much more than I ever want to about Miley and Winehouse and a few others.

What I found notable~rock and roll is no longer music for the young. :)

I didn’t watch the Grammys, but I was curious about who made it to play for the Foo Fighters after viewing several of the violinists on YT.
Don’t watch much network TV. I mostly watch Science Channel, Discovery Channel, or the History Channels. I’m a sucker for anything with cosmology.

As for music I mostly listen to a couple of Interpol CDs in the car, & a modern rock station when it’s not something over 5 years old. I wish they’d stop playing Nirvanna. I don’t care if Smells Like Teen Spirit is a classic. It’s old, & I hate hearing old stuff every day. Se how frustrated I am with that?
Anyways, The Jazz is cool.
I voted Obama. I actually believe he (of all of the candidate selections)is the only person who could bring this country together. I really dislike Clinton’s two-faced approach when trying to please everyone. There are so many intelligent women in politics, WTH does it have to be Hillary for president?

I got your message from the MyBlog thing. I used my Yahoo account name to sign in. I really don’t mess with that thing too much. I mostly got on it for your blog.

Anyways, I’m up in the middle of the night because somehow a ladybug got in my bedroom & was crawling on my leg, so in my frustration I began doing a midnight spring cleaning session. I hate bugs. Now I have to find another program on Science Channel to put me back to sleep.

Apropos your note on bloglog, you can definitely count me as in your community…

JaniceNW - Take it all the way, don’t simply stop where it offends you. It’s not simply misogynistic, on the larger scale, it’s simply misanthropic.

Like Bennet above, I don’t watch much TV other than what he listed and some sports, especially when they get into the playoffs.
Musically, I’m pretty much a rock/blues/smooth jazz/classical guy. Not much into rap or hip-pop.
May Obama beat the crap out of the Clintons.

Good sentiment–may Obama…

I gave up on the Grammys the year that Earth Wind & Fire or Chicago was named “best heavy metal” It was probably Chicago as EWF would have made a certain elemental sense

I love junk TV–have DVR–can condense an hour into 37 minutes–and Friday Night Lights is better than most “good” movies, when Boston Legal is good, it’s great–and 30 Rock can be great

As long as any Law & Order is on TV, I can move anywhere and have Riverside and Central Parks as my front and back yards. Don’t have to actually watch–can just look. They film in my building and several of my friend’s buildings so it’s it’s like watching home movies

If rap is crap and Ironpantsuit were a drum, then Obama played a very nice tune this weekend.

What do country, rap, Amy Whinehouse and Hillary Clinton have in common? I say no, no, no. …

The play by play on the race for the audio book Grammy was amusing. We watched some of it, flicking back and forth, we are a family of clickers.

I had to look up “Chicago” and “Grammy”, thankfully they didn’t win Rock Album, they won once for best pop song. Had me scared there for a minute Pia. Now I’m going to have to look up “Earth Wind and Fire”.

I loved that a Jazz album won.

Never cared for violins personally, but the girl who won was pretty good.

I’m going to vote as soon as the polls open because I’m heading out of the state for work for a week. I’ll be late because if it, but that’s life.

I never heard of Grammy’s for books, looking at the list it looks like if pays to be a politician, write some books, pick up some Grammy’s, and make a few extra bucks.

That whole Grammy over Bill Clinton thing is rather ironic, and couldn’t be more timely.

I’m not familiar with that CD but it sounds like something I’ll check into.

Adiós Amigo.

Not in a Ramones kid of way.

I’m not much for Jazz it always puts me to sleep, but I listened to a couple of the tracks and think I’ll purchase the Tina Turner one off iTunes for starters. It sounds pretty sweet.

That whole Grammy for audio version of books things kind of blows me away, it is funny that he won against Clinton but I’m with John, it’s all new to me.

Write a book and win a Grammy? The authors read them I take it?

Janice: LOL, I think Rock and Roll is ageless but the term itself is unclear. I like Hip Hop Music, the only type of music I cringe from most of the time is Country or Pop Country.
I admit to not caring for the misogyny of it all any more than I care for the outright misogyny of MSNBC, so I pick and choose carefully.

Bennet: Interpol was the reason for my getting one of my works grades on a paper ever while in college, having attended a concert the night I was to be writing the final draft and all.

I don’t know how much I’ll be using it any longer it is kind of a mess really. I might just have to copy all those whose communities I joined to look through and leave it. I’m not putting code in my blog. Ladybugs are good luck, or so I was always told.

Paul: Thanks Paul. I figured you were there I just being kept outside the gate for now I guess.

Jon: HERE, HERE.

Morgan: The only sports I routinely watch is the college basketball season.

I’m with you on Obama of course. There is such a long time to go.

Pia: I fall asleep to TV, a habit from college. I watch CNBC at do catch a variety of cable punditry as well as Dexter, The Wire Soon hopefully BL again and random other HBO or Showtime things. Old movies I love as well as the channels Bennet cited, though usually now it is in the far background while I’m working.

SK: i am rather fond of Amy, though admittedly she did look to me last night anyway, rather rough, much like a drug addict in need of some kind of rehab for sure. I loved her cd though.

Jacob: I’ve have never listened to an audio recording of a book except Merle Streep reading “The Velveteen Rabbit”, and that is awesome. ;)

john: she was good, I enjoyed the violin part of the show.

Casey: It is smooth and yes could put you to sleep or relax you in a heavenly way.

I may have to record my blog….

I don’t think I’ve ever watched the Grammys. It’s the only awards show that I have no interest in seeing. Music, for me, is such a personal matter that I very rarely take stock what the world at large is thinking in regards to the state of music.

No radio.
No music television channels.
And I guess no music awards for me.

This was hilarious: “Winning The U.S. Virgin Islands, which was quite a coup, should give Obama some credibility with the abstinence only crowd.” You win the best sentence by a pundit Grammy.

I watched them while correcting papers. I know it makes me sound like a bad teacher, but I always watch them even if I don’t put much weight on the results.

I voted early, no school due to the voting, so I’m off and the school is not habitable for teachers. My polling place was as crowded as I’ve ever seen it.

I’m happy he won the Virgin Islands. ;)

mojo:You are very particular about your music that is for sure. I don’t think I’ve watched a music channel in years though.

Dou: And Grammy pundit I am, and proud of it.

Kait: You could never be a bad teacher.I’m still having a hard time thinking of you that way though. :)

Cooper If you love violins I know you would love Leonard Cohen….you have to at least hear “Dance Me To The End Of Love”…spine tingling!

Try it
KAK

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin, dance me to the end of love.

Thanks Coop for posting that video of Herby, I had not seen him get his award that night nor have I heard his latest music. I’m really not into music that much but for some reason I always watch the Grammys and the AMAs to try to get caught up.

Tina is still looking great-”black don’t crack!”

What was all that drama with Aretha getting pissed because Beyonce refered to Tina as the Queen. Tina is the Queen, the Queen of survival and persuverence.
