   The Beatles are STILL winning awards!  Ringo is so goofy but he had to represent.  My question is where was Pauly?  The tribute to The Beatles by Cirque du Soleil and some of the cast of Across the Universe was fantastic.  “Let It Be” gave me chills and made me teary eyed. 

  I got weepy twice actually, again when Kanye sang “Mama”, amazingly enough he got through it pretty well.  As great as Kanye is and how he is a formitable man in the music industry, it does not give him the right to be a total jerk.  He just bosses everyone around and says how he is going to be the best recording artist of all time.  But he did walk off with four awards, so he should be pleased.  I LOVED it when Vince Gill burned him.  “I was just given an award by a Beatle…Kanye, can you say that?” OHH SNAP!

   As much as I didn’t want her to win, Amy Winehouse’s acceptance of the record of the year award was touching.  That album is amazing and pretty much flawless but she is our anti-drug.  I wish she would get her act together. 

   John Mayer represented Fairfield during a performance with Alicia Keys but was snubbed for the male pop vocal performance by Mr. JT.  Foo Fighters won for best rock album, I really though Daughtry had that one, but was pleasantly surprised!   ”Love (The Beatles)” produced by George Martin & Giles Martin won for best compliation soundtrack – as well it should have! Flight of the Conchords won for best comdey album for ”The Distant Future.”  The most awkward moment of the night had to be Keely Smith and Kid Rock’s performance of “Witchcraft”…Kid forgot some of the words, and it was just a strange match up.

  My mom fell asleep half way through and asked what she missed.  I told her, “Kanye and Amy Winehouse won stuff, people gave awkward presentations and acceptances and the Beatles are still freakin’ rad.”  Pretty much sums it all up.
