1. The White Stripes guitar player/singer and drummer are really good. His singing brings to mind a cross between Axel Rose and the lead singer of White Witch, Ron Goedert (very old glam rock group that probably no one remembers outside of Mike Murphy and myself). Are the bass player and keyboard people as talented? How about the horn section?
2. Man, Prince still rocks! And Beyonce has impressed me once again.
3. Will somebody please tell me what is living on top of Christina Aguilera's head? Her performance was really good, but that 'doo' needs a mercy killing.
4. The beach house harbors no real fans of Celine Dion, but even with technical difficulties she was a trooper and sang a tribute to Luther Vandross without monitor (those earpieces u see em all wearing). Tears were in my eyes.
5. Sting still rocks. His tribute to the Beatles with Dave and Vince? Awesome! Glad to see them play their instruments. He also sang Roxanne and it was tremendous!
6. You'd think that a major network like CBS could get the "audio" right for a program of this magnitude. NOT! Volume was constantly up and down, and forget the 5.1 dolby digital. Sad sad sad. Let Fox do it next year. BTW, Fox is the ONLY decent TV news channel.
7. Okay, it's official - I've turned into my father. Robert Randolph and the Family Band were awesome. They play and SING! Just don't get Outkast (sp?). They're rap right? Best acceptance speech for the night tho' (their first anyway) - and I quote, "thank you."
8. Warren Zevon and Bruce Springsteen won. There is some justice.
9. Sarah, you did a good job singing "Fallen", but please hire someone to dress you. Your ass can't be that wide.
10. The tribute to Mr. Zevon was awesome. I can name everyone that was on stage. Eclectic group. Warren would have liked that. Find "Tenderness on the Block" and listen to it. Your life will become better.
