I have to apologize to anyone expecting a Rock Town Hall GRAMMYS Bash tonight. I’ve been so busy preparing for our upcoming Foyer of Fame festivities that I didn’t even realize the GRAMMY folks were doing their thing until I saw the paper this morning. Then I didn’t care about it. I tuned in briefly, earlier tonight, to see that American Idol woman, Jennifer Hudson<\/strong>, whose family was recently slain – a sincerely horrible thing that even I felt sad about. I only caught the tail end of her performance, that point when the African American Robed Choir<\/a> suddenly appeared to make sure you really felt her pain. My timing was a message from god.<\/p>\n

I also saw that “I Kissed a Girl” woman, Katie Perry<\/strong>? I’d never heard that entire song. Man, it sucks. It’s the cross-section between Pat Benetar and the worst aspects of The Cure.<\/p>\n

Just now I tuned in again to see Kanye West<\/strong>, M.I.A.<\/strong>, Lil’ Wayne<\/strong>, Jay-Z<\/strong> (I think), and maybe some other guy all yell at once while a token white guy played a heavy rock guitar lick in the background. Ugh.<\/p>\n

Then Paul McCartney<\/strong> came on – still sans Hamish Stuart<\/a> – to play yet another lame version of “I Saw Her Standing There.” Give it up, already, Paul! And Coldplay<\/strong>, after tonight’s festivities can you give up wearing those Sgt. Pepper’s jackets? It’s been 2 years appearing in public in those things, no? They smell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
