The 2014 Grammys in My Opinion

I'm very very sick. But I had to get this down before I forgot.
Then I will be lying back down I promise!

Wanna feel old? Watch the Grammy's.
I was laying on the sofa wrapped up in 2 blankets and a ton of clothes shivering.
Seriously 2 pieces of each piece of clothing and I was so damn cold.

I had been sleeping off and on all day so I was now awake to watch this.
I laughed at most of it.
I am far too old for any of this.

Let's start with Dudley Do-Right. Apparently he is a big thang.
I have heard of him but I don't listen to rap so I don't know him from any other kid of his age that is a rapper or producer etc.  Here's his photo from the night.

Here's Dudley Do-Right. Is Canada missing a Mountie?

Then there were these men? women? in the robot gear? The reason?

Whatever it is it was lost on us both.

Rick and I laughed a lot. We tried to think what our parents were saying in the 70's. Everyone had long hair, bell bottoms and was generally high.
I don't think they did gimmicks. They didn't have to. They just sang. Go figure.
Oh sure Hendricks and Pete Townsend would break guitars and even as a teenager I thought it was stupid. So I guess its just in my DNA.

Then there was Pink. I love that woman's voice and music. 
But really the Cirque du Soleil is tiring. 
You know she's not singing while upside down. Stop it. Just sing damn it.
I know she wanted to be a gymnast but she chose singing. Just friggin' sing!!

Then there is Beyonce. I will admit the woman has a great voice. But she sings shitty music to me that certainly does nothing to show off her voice. And all she does is use her sex appeal. And if I have to listen to her spew woman's rights and yet she uses her sexuality for all her attention instead of her voice,  I will seriously track that wench down and bitch slap her into next week. And don't get me started on her horsey hubby - no likey!! 
(I saw he brought his buddy Cano there. Aargh!!)

When Lordes began to sing her song and twitch like she was having a seizure Rick and I laughed so hard I had a coughing attack. (well after we realized she was okay we laughed) 
Oh my, that was damn odd. I think we'll see that on SNL next week.

Bruno Mars won and boy we really like this kid. He has real talent. (to us)  I saw him earlier in the day while lying on the sofa dying. He was on an old SNL skit. The skit is where he as the intern has to fill in for various stations on Pandora when the power went down. 
Very cute skit.  Michael Jackson, Louis Armstrong, Green Day, Mariah, etc.  It was clever.

But back to the 2014 Grammy's.

Then we had the old timers.
Oh my.
Willie Nelson is a lot like Bob Dylan to me. Great song writers but shouldn't belly up to the microphone....ever. Kris Kristofferson still looks rather good at 70 something but still can't sing. Merle Haggard, well I have nothing to say. But that whole team of country crooners was just awful....to me.

I did not care for Robin Thicke and his Ricco Sauvé act with Chicago. 
Leave that persona for Michael Buble. You are not sauve. You are dirty boy. 
And your voice doesn't have enough weight to it to sing a Chicago song. 
And I am not Chicago's biggest fan. 
It was all kinds of wrong. I see him and feel like I need to shower or a shot of penicillin. 

I thought Madonna was beginning to look like Dolly Parton. Her face is odd.
I like Dolly so there may be hope for Madonna yet as far as I'm concerned. :-)

And then there was the biggest disappointment the remaining Beatles.
Ringo was horrific alone but then again he always was.
When he played with Paul I just found it sad.
Why was Paul on a clown piano? I didn't get the song or the toy piano.
And I felt like someone needed to come to the stage and help the seniors. 
It was sad, they all looked silly.

I heard today on all the morning programs and at lunch today that when Paul and Ringo got up to play the room cleared out. Everyone went to the bathroom etc. 
At first I gasped but then I realized that if Rosemary Clooney or Tony Bennett came on the Grammy's when I was a kid I would probably use that time to go to the bathroom too.
So I got it. Sometimes they hang on too long don't they?  I found it funny that all the rock bands were in their 70's.  Sadly there is no more rock 'n roll for me.

The only thing I saw all night that I truly enjoyed were these commercials.



This one below is priceless to me. I haven't heard Rick laugh that hard in a long time!
Then again it probably was because we were so damn bored with the Grammys.



I'm going back to bed now. I hope to be back soon...unless something else cracks me up.
