Grammy Time: 11:33 : Bye, bye, babies!
Yay, Steve Lillywhite, my friend from my Big Fat Grammy Preview won "Song of the Year," meaning that they recognize not only U2 but his work on Jason Mraz's album. Viva La Mraz!
Now Bonnie and James are doing the "Album of the Year." It's U2, right? Because Mariah ain't winning nothing.
Yep. Bono just crossed the stage to hug Kanye. Just gave shout outs to Mariah and Paul and Gwen.
Wait, is Adam talking? Adam talks? What?
They cut my Larry off. Rats!
Now here is the last performance, and the Music Cares tribute to the gulf musicians who lost their instruments.
Dr. John is in the house! And Elvis Costello and Yolanda Adams and Alan Toussaint.
What's this...Bruce and Sam Moore doing "In The Midnight Hour" for Wilson Pickett. That's right. A fitting tribute. Take note. This is what you do when you honor someone. You give them the time of day.
And Irma Thomas. Very nice.
Are we done? What have we learned? That sometimes, the host with the most is no host at all. That sometimes, being honored means never having to say...anything. And getting a trillion nominations means nothing when the Man won't respect you. Shine on, Little Mariah.
Goodnight, ya'll. Tell me what you thought! Please! I get insecure really easily...
