Grammys 2010: A Late Wait for Any Master's Voice
The Stephen Colbert monologue was entertaining, but there was nothing of interest until the final half hour of the show with the exception of the Zack Brown Band doing their number with Leon Russell.
Send the kids to bed at 11 and on comes Dave Matthews, Maxwell and Roberta Flack doing Where is the Love, and Jeff Beck's super How High The Moon tribute to Les Paul. Actually I didn't stay up to 11 because we DVRd it so I could quickly speed through the five thousandth Michael Jackson tribute, Pink in the aerial cage, Beyonce, Haiti pleas, lots of unlistenable rap and Taylor Swift caterwalling with Stevie Nicks. The Grammys were always a mixed bag, but I don't ever recall a year where most any performance of any merit was stacked up at the last half hour.
Either I'm getting old for most of this or pop music is getting much worse. Or most likely, both of these statements are true.
