Live Blogging the Grammy’s!!!

8 02 2009

Sorry for the abruptness of this blog, but…. this is my 1st attempt at live blogging, sorry if it sucks and..

Tonight is Grammy night!!, as all my loyal readers know, music is my life. I’ve written lyrics, and my head is filled with so much music knowledge…

So right now the huge news is that Chris Brown is being sought by the Los Angeles Police Department for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend Rihanna…IF this is true, it’s a shocker, and very, very sad on so many levels.

I mean he’s supposed to be a role model, and if he’s breaking the most sacred unspoken man rule…there’s something VERY wrong.

U2 kicked off the show with their new song Sexy Boots. It’s good to see them rockin’ for so many years, and not missing a beat. I saw them in 2001, and hope they come around again.

I can’t wait for Coldplay and Jay-Z to perform Lost+ tonight, this is a song that I believe should be up for numerous awards in both the rock and rap category.

Ok it’s now 9:15 and I found out I missed Coldplay and Jay-Z…but thank God for youtube.

Right now the Jonas Brothers are performing with Stevie Wonder, which I believe is a great thing for the music industry, as it bridges the generational gap…DAMN that performance was insane.

Blink 182 are getting back together! Holy Shit! I’ve seen them about 3 times, and each time, they rocked the fuckin house.

I’m so glad Travis Barker and DJ AM survived that plane crash.

9:30 Damn Katy Perry as the Chiquita banana girl…sooo fuckin sexy..but nowhere was the “my Grammy moment” contest winner…odd.

Now the song I cant stand, eventhough it’s catchy… Estelle w/Kanye – American Boy….Wonder if he’ll stay on stage to sing Swagga Like Us with M.I.A., T.I., Jay-Z, And Lil Wayne …ugh there he goes bitching again about not getting the best new artist Grammy…

Aww how cute, Adele…she deserved it with her soulful voice…and she’s kinda cute…plus if the Jonas Brothers won..what kind of message would that say about the RIAA?

UPDATE ON CHRIS BROWN: Sources familiar with the investigation say that they can confirm he allegedly hit Rihanna.

Ok they just had the Swagga like us performance with TI, Lil Wayne, Kanye, Jay-Z and a very pregnant MIA (shes due today)…

After a very fitting introduction by Kate Beckinsale…now it’s time for the legendary Sir Paul McCartney.

10pm:

…Jack Black is not funny when it’s unscripted….

Ok here comes Adele, I expect a lot from her over the next few years.

Ok her performance of Chasing Pavements with Sugarland has given me a newfound respect for Country music. I’ll admit there are a few artist’s I like here and there, but it’s not my main genre of music to listen to, but that performance was simple amazing.

TI is the fuckin man! He had TWO of his songs performed tonight!

This guy, while he is the recording academy’s president…always gives the worst speeches..and please tell me he didn’t just cop Obama’s “Yes We Can”…just wow.

Neyo, Jaime Foxx, Smokey Robinson and the 1 remaining member of the Four tops performing the Mo-Town classic “I’ll Be There”…this is such an iconic moment in my opinion, and I am truly blessed to be able to witness it.

Mo-town is one of the leading reasons that many of today’s artist’s exist, and not many people under the age of 20 will understand just how much of a moment they just witnessed….BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT!

Neil Diamond’s singing now, and this is a huuuge letdown that he’s basically speaking the words instead of singing…BUT I love the fact the crowd is taking a page out of Fenway Park and singing “So Good” the way Red Sox fans love to.

Ok I’m a bit morbid…I love the In Memoriam part, because it’s always nice to reflect upon how much of an inspiration those who have passed on have had on the music industry.

Lil Wayne is giving one hell of a performance now. Much love the New Orleans and the music it has given us.

CHRIS BROWN UPDATE: Chris has turned himself in, and is being held on $50,000 bail.

Ok They just announced Album of the year..Robert Plant and Allison Krauss…not that good in my opinion, was hoping Coldplay or Lil Wayne would get it..but oh well.





Update/LOST

8 02 2009

So this is an update about a blog that I wrote about a month or so ago, and a bar I went to.

Tonight I go there to have a drink and catch up with the bartenders who work there that I’ve known for at least 4-5 years.

Well it appears I may have offended someone and if I did offend this person , I am truly sorry. I don’t have a grudge against her, but I was upset with the way she treated me that night. It’s the same as if I went to any other restaurant and the same thing happened. I’d be upset about it.

Now this is a bar I’ve been going to and chatting with the bouncers since I was 18, I know most of the bartenders, and consider a few of them good friends.

But that one night I felt severely mistreated.

I mean I have dealt with stuff like that all my life and now I’m standing up for myself and other little guys (yes I know I’m not little but you get the point) by writing here. I’m the kind of guy who solves things with words, not fists.

Tomorrow though I’m going to talk to a bartender/friend of mine to see if I could get all this stuff straightened out.

Onto LOST…I am so fuckin’ excited about this season, and finally getting more questions answered, than more questions TO answer.
