Kanye West

gets on my nerves! His tribute to his mom last night on the Grammy's was touching, but he is still an egotistical, proud, boastful sum. Since we have the flu at my house, I was holding the bed down last night cruisin' through the channels, going back and forth, by commercial prompt, of course, between the Grammy's, EMHE, Nat Geo & Animal Planet. I caught several really good performances on the music awards show that I quit watching several years ago because the music sucked so bad. But with the 50th anniversary and all, they did it up pretty good last night. The best performance, in my opinion, was an orchestra featuring Jazz great Herbie Hancock & some Asain kid named Lang Lang playing Rhapsody in Blue. ANYWAY, kudos to Vince Gill, who kinda called Kanye out. He was just smiling enough to pull it off in a kind-hearted appearing way. OK, so of course, I can't find a clip to embed here, so I gotta tell you, Ringo Starr & another Brit I forget presented Vince with the Country Music album of the year or something, and when he got up there he said, "Wow, I just got an award from a Beatle." (pause) "You done that yet, Kanye?" So you go, Vince! Put them young, foolish, arrogant rappers in there place!
And just wondering, isn't Amy Winehouse stuck in London cuz she's in rehab? How the heck did she win the most awards last night? Whatever...

Super Tuesday!

Wow, what a media frenzy! Even BBC America is devoting 5 hours airtime tonight to cover everything. You guys know who I support, but the most important thing is to go out and VOTE! This is probably the closest race of our lifetimes, so far. So no matter who you support, go VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
