Not Your Grandmother's Grammys
The Dixie Chicks showed that the Bush Bashing continues. This was a musical group that at one time would have moved into second place after Saddam's hanging in the category of Most Hated Individual or Group Still Alive in the War on Terror. Now they might be no higher than seventh or eighth. This helps explain their winning five Grammy Awards last night, which is hugely impressive considering they were only nominated for three.

Am I the only one who is actually frightened by the size of Mary J. Blige's biceps?

But the highlight of the Grammys started with the Police reunion. Thankfully, it was a lute free zone.

What is up with the top teeth of that Gnarls Barkley guy, Cee-Lo? He could gnaw through a steel I-beam. (Hey, I just checked Wikipedia, Cee-Lo and I share the same birthday.)

James Blunt didn't win anything for his hit Your Beautiful since their wasn't a category called Most Loathed Song in the World by an Individual or Group. Want your brain to melt? Here is a midi file of that song.

By this picture it was confirmed that Prince was electrocuted during the Super Bowl performance in the rain.

That has been your Grammy Award update.

I can see this happening to my son, who feels his spray deodorant is not fully effective unless an actual, visible cloud of it is surrounding him.

Here is a Keith Olberman follow up piece on the Great Boston Lite Brite Scare. Right after I finished my column, this report came across. Apparently, the old business adage is true: You can't cost your network $2 million and not lose your job. Especially if it doesn't improve the ratings. Doing some research, I found a place to eat that was still Atkins Diet friendly. This FEMA for Kids site explains what Y2K was, then ends by stating that January 1, 2000 was the start of the 21st century. “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job.” Who wants movie trailers? Here’s the Snopes website. Repeat after me, Iraq is the one on the left. Finally, relax and listen to The Who’s We Won’t Get Fooled Again, in the traditional midi file version as Pete Townsend originally envisioned it, a music form which research has shown can cause dementia.
