Who will be watching the Grammy awards tonight?

Options
My wife will be watching but I have no interest all in the show at all. IMHO, the show is a waste of time.

    The only reason would be to see the remaining members of the Eagles paying tribute to Glenn Frey if only I knew how far into the show it is. That would be the only reason for us to tune in.

    Watched it with the wife, it was worth it to just watch Hollywood Vampires burn the house down, and their tribute to Lemmy...

    Didn't watch the show, but saw the video of her tribute to David Bowie, and she was great. Plus she nailed the National Anthem at the Stupid Bowl. I don't remember a better performance of it than hers. I love that woman.

    That is an interesting group. Would have never known about it had you not posted.

    Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, and ..... Johnny Depp?

    Haters will hate, but that girl has got talent..

    Nope. Tired of the political activism from the left we have to endure with all of these award shows. It just can't be about entertainment anymore.

    Couldn't agree with you more Steve. Also, do you think that Jackson Browne could take over for Glenn if they do go back on tour?

    I did catch a few moments of the Glenn Fry thing on the news---Jackson Browne is holding up pretty good.

    I saw some of the last hour or so. Honestly, I didn't care for LadyGaga's tribute to Bowie, thought Adele sounded like she was straining to hit some notes. I didn't care for The Hollywood Vampires, it was embarrassing and the sound mix sounded horrible on Comcast. Honestly, it sounded like someone's guitar was out of tune and some bg vocals didn't help things. Whoever was doing the sound engineering needs to be fired.

    This tech issue was classic. Piano mic falls onto strings. If you really care about how it sounds, stop, apologize, go to a commercial and reboot it right.

    It's just a TV show, not an SACD, DVD-A, Vinyl, or a Hi-Rez Download..

    Granted I agree for the most part these shows suck, but I don't go into it looking to nit pick the sound quality, I'm sure it sounded a lot different there as well..

    When you step outside in the spring do you listen to the birds singing thinking man these birds sound out of tune today??
