Who watched the Grammy's last night? What was your favorite part? Who did you like the best? Who had the worst attitude? I have never been an award show person, but this year I have tuned in for the Golden Globes and the Grammy's. What's next?? The Tony's? Yeah...I wouldn't know many on Tony Awards.
I do love music, though. Music has written the soundtrack to my life. There are certain songs I hear and I can place myself back in time. Back to careless days of my childhood or during times of pain or times of success. Music touches us in a way nothing else does. It gets under our skin and gets our body to move.
My miscellaneous thoughts for today:
- I really enjoyed the Beach Boys last night. They have been a long-time influence in my life. I can't hear them and not think of my Uncle Bob. We knew the words to Good Vibrations at such a young age. That song really takes me back to 1979 in his light blue Corvair convertible driving down the road from Mobile to Gulf Shores, Alabama for the day.
- For the first time, I thought Paul McCartney looked old. He's kind of always been very "Dick Clark" to me. Never aging. Always enjoyable. I love the Beatles and even saw Paul in 1989 (I think that's right) at Carter Finley. He can still sing his fanny off, though.
- Adele....Amazing, classy, and beautiful.
- Jennifer Hudson....That girl's got some ca-ho-nays to get up 24 hours later and sing a tribute to Whitney. How she did it without crying, I will never know.
- Foo Fighters....Dave, I love ya. You've got more talent and creativity in your pinkie finger than people think. Rock on!
- Whitney...you wrote the soundtrack to my life from 7th grade on. "I wanna dance with somebody who loves me." Her smile was infectious. How could you not love this beautiful, talented woman. Don't judge her for her addictions. She worked really hard to fight them. A true talent lost, but forever influencing our lives.
For those who wanted to see my Valentine's cookies, I iced them during the first hour of Grammy's last night. Here they are:
Happy Monday, y'all!
xoxo,
Laurie

We tuned it watch Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. I feared having to sit through a bunch awards and acts before he performed. I was thrilled when they opened the show. The channel was promptly turned when they were done. I don't listen to Top Forty and admit I have never heard an Adele song (that I know of).
I was literally jumping up and down when Adele won her grammys. Such an incredible voice and person!
We watched some of the Grammy's. I loved the Beach Boys. I always have though. I remember we listened to them a lot growing up. We went to bed very shortly after the Beach Boys. I hear we missed quite the train wreck performance.
