21. 5, all 5 they were nominated for! Kick for the Dixie Chicks!

"Not Ready to Make Nice"

Such sweet Vindication!

Hello Clear Channel? Are you listening?

Heh, Heh!

Bless the Chicks for their courageous and unflinching stand in these oppressive times.

:woohoo: :bounce: :applause:

[Hissyspit]

6. The line about "Wowing Like Obama" during the Shakira song.

Not sure about the exact wording.

[Dean Martin]

17. I caught that too

I wondered if anyone else caught that. I haven't watched the Grammys in years. I wanted to watch this year when I heard Mary J was going to perform. I was pleased she won awards. Everyone was excellent.

[StClone]

7. Amen Best Ever!

Al Gore! Shakira smoked, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, CHIX! Good Night all!

[rocktivity]

14. Was that the same Slayer who had a song that was popular

in the early 90's called "Desperately?" I think I may actually have that CD somewhere...... Hey, what happened to your smirky avatar? :hi:

[rocktivity]

15. In the early 90s, Slayer's song titles were more along the lines of

War Ensemble
Blood Red
Dead Skin Mask
Hell Awaits
The Anti-Christ
Raining Blood
Altar Of Sacrifice
Mandatory Suicide
Angel Of Death

"Winky" is the mascot for my music web site. I'm still a big fan, and will certainly trot out Joe V. when the occasion calls for it--like, for example, if Bon Jovi were to win a music award!

:headbang:

[borlis]

22. I did some digging and it was Slaughter I was thinking of

not Slayer. Thanks for putting Joe V. back up.

[rocktivity]

23. Slaughter and Slayer--now THAT'S a concert bill

that could be hazardous to your health!

:rofl:

No doubt he's the only president who's won a Grammy ---!

[tblue]

10. Whitney looks like she's about to burst a jugular, grinning at Gore! You go, Al!!!!!

'The loudest applause went to Al Gore, who sat near fur-swaddled Whitney Houston at the Davis table.'

12. Dixie Chicks Get the Last Laugh

They had you crawlin'
And you came up flyin'
They had you cryin'

And don't you love the sound
The last laugh goin' down?

Van Morrison

20. Christina and Mary J blew me away!

That tribute to James that Christina did?Damn,Just damn!My jaw was on the floor.

[gauguin57]

26. ABSOLUTELY ... Xtina completely blew the doors off the joint.

And the Chicks were transcendent as they sang "Not Ready to Make Nice" ... I started crying as Natlie Maines belted out these lyrics (with the crowd going NUTS):

It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her/
daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.

And how in the world can the words that I said/
send somebody so over the edge,/
That they’d write me a letter sayin’ that I’d better/
SHUT UP AND SING or my life will be over?

OMG ... GAVE ME CHILLS!!!

[itsmesgd]

24. Grateful Dead Grammy

for lifetime achievement or something similar.
Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzman were there to stand up and wave to the crowd. Bill looked rough
