The Recording Academy is plowing through The Winners - laura marling lost out (bummer) to aimee mann for best folk album..

 

wondering who Will Perform for the Tom Petty tribute ?

 

 

I’ve read that Stevie Nicks and Joe Jonas are doing Stop dragging my heart around 

On Now at CBS.

Interesting start...   wish I could make out more of the words, the Bono and Dave Chappell cameos were nice 

Here's a New York Times live update link: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/28/arts/music/grammy-winners.html

It appears as though John McLaughlin won a Grammy for Best Improvised Jazz Solo for "Miles Beyond." Too bad he's not playing primetime to blow the minds of America and show these other silly artists up.

 

The dude who Petty sued is performing now.

Is Kanye West attending? 

If so, I might tune in.

Do they give out participation trophies for watching the Grammies?  

I have no idea whom most of these artists are, but I do know a few....

Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, won Grammys for both Best American Roots Song (“If Were Wore Vampires”) and Best Americana Album (The Nashville Sound)

some of this is a joke anyway

like Tyler, the Creator's nomination for best rap album.  That guy is cringeworthy.

 

 

Kudos to Noam Pikelny. He's an amazing musician/banjo player .

classy!

Portugal. the Man win Grammy, promptly wipe ass with trophy and yell “Hail Satan!”

they have a few good songs, but this seems a little over the top.

Just like every other awards show it sucked a bag o dick. Speaking of bag o dicks I saw a post from Ben Shapiro that I had to agree with. The tone was that Hillary reading at the Grammys is exactly why we have Trump in the White House. Forget right/wrong , free speech/censorship -- concentrate on the climate that our country is stewing in right now and make thoughtful decisions. Instead we have Hillary at the Grammys and a Kennedy being tossed up for a presidential bid. WTF???!!!
