Always a week late on things, Gene and I just finished watching the Grammy awards. Thanks to the PVR we were able to watch it at 60x speed and only watch the stuff we wanted to. 1) The Police reunion 2) The Eagles covers 3) Henley present an award with Scarlett Johannsen (ScarJo).
#1 – Pretty good. Gene wondered aloud if Roxanne is the seminal Police song. I thought perhaps Roxanne or Every Breath you Take.
#2 – Oh my god, oh the pain, OH MY EYES. Whose bright idea was this?? Yeargh. It was like the saddest cover band ever, or one of those wedding bands with the sassy girl singer.
#3 – Henley was not mean to poor old ScarJo, as I’d heard elsewhere on the Internet. She asked if he had advice on recording her album, he said “No” and that was that. He’s not Bruce Friggin Springsteen, he’s a terse guy (I tried, really I tried, to type mutha, but I couldn’t do it).
