An item for comments from anyone who saw the Grammy Awards on 
Wednesday night.  Or maybe you want to make fun of the awards and
the show even if you didn't watch it!

This year's Grammys were quite entertaining, for the first time emphasizing
performances over the awards.  Quite a list of performers too, from Madonna
to U2 to Paul McCartney to Mariah Carey to Sly and the Family Stone to Bruce
Springsteen.  Even a tribute to Wilson Pickett at the end with Springsteen
doing "rock to the midnight hour"  

 How's Sly looking these days?  I didn't hear good things about his set
 but I'm glad to hear he's got it together enough to perform in public
 again.  His is not a happy story (though it should have been..)

News stories are reporting that Fox's "American Idol" clobbered CBS's 
Grammy Awards shows in the TV ratings.   "Idol" pulled 28 million 
viewers while the Grammy show settled for 15 million, just a bit over 
half as many viewers.  Grammy TV ratings are down 33 percent over two 
years.

re #2 Sly was mumbling a little bit.  He obviously hasn't performed in a long
time, still has plenty of charisma though, and the "Family Stone" backing him
was fine, in particular Joss Stone, who's quite talented in her own right.

 re #3:  
 > Grammy TV ratings are down 33 percent over two years.

 I can't wait for the RIAA to try to blame this on all the bittorrent sites
 sharing DIVX videos of the Grammy broadcasts..  :-p

I just imagined myself in the wrong bbs... Wassup people.
How's things happening?
