The D Man's Running Grammy Thoughts

Some random thoughts from last night's 51st Grammy Awards.

• Not a fan of the cracked-out Whitney. Miss the "I wanna feel the heat with somebody" Whitney.


• Kid Rock gets two songs?


• Stevie Wonder--please get some new material. The Grammy folks are selling you down the river. "Superstitious" with the Jonas Brothers? These people are not your friends.


• This "artist" was introduced by Morgan Freeman as follows: "A Poet. A Pirate. A Dreamer." Ernest Hemingway, you might ask? Ummm, not exactly. Mr. Kenny Chesney!


• The G8 Summit of Rap may have just started another arms race. Thanks Lil' Wayne.


• If you need to know, the exact moment Katie Perry cemented her one-hit wonder status: when she entered the stage in the banana.


• [Commercial Break: Diddy is on CSI? Maybe we will find out who killed Biggie.]


• The guy from Sugarland is a complete tool.


• [Mrs. The D Man: "Queen Latifah has got big bosoms." Thanks.]


• Just saw Trace Adkins in the crowd. Feeling much better.


• For the rest of his life, that 3rd string trombone player for USC will get to say that he performed with Radiohead. How sweet was that?


• The Grammy President sucks. Seriously, if you want a sleepover in the West Wing, give President Obama a call. We know you have him on speed dial.


• The D Man should be the Secretary of the Arts. Apparently we need a cabinet position to safeguard our cultural heritage. We must not let The Fast and the Furious 4 fall into the hands of Al Qaeda.


• Hopefully Paul McCartney's new girlfriend has two legs. He deserves two legs.


• [Text from The D Man: "It's Neil!" / Text from The Rizzo: "He lost me at the Christmas album."]


• Still a huge fan of dead artist montages.


• Lil' Wayne redeemed himself with a surprisingly sweet acceptance speech for Rap Album of the Year. For real.


• And the Album of the Year goes to Raising Sand. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Reason number 4,532 that the Grammys are aesthetically and artistically irrelevant. Was Steely Dan not available to accept the award?


• Sorry Mr. Yorke. Seriously. I apologize for the whole awards show thing.
