First Hour- The wine is poured and I have a cold so at any moment I might explode.

7:56 Just experimenting here and the cold has the best of me. I’ll check in periodically. And why isn’t anyone talking about Rhianna’s Wheat dress? Waiting on Amy Winehouse. I know she’s a hot mess but I think she’s cool. I may move into hour two on a new post. Maybe, maybe not.

7:53 And the winner is ….. Love. It’s Beatles night. Ringo is headed to the stage with George Martin. With his son? Martin giving credit to George Harrison for getting it started.

7:50 Fergie and John Legend are doing their thing now. Wait. Fergie can sing. I don’t listen to radio so I have no reference. Sneezing. This might not make it into the next hour. I think I caught a cold from John due to innertube osmosis. Presenting best album for compilation album

7:47 Kanye is doing a slow song. I wonder if this is for his mom. It is.

7:46 DAFT PUNK…. I want an outfit like theirs. Told ya…

7:43 Shut up. I have to watch Daft Punk with Kanye. DAFT PUNK! I dig this song. But it weirds me out when singers edit their own censored songs. Actually, Kanye is really cool on this song.

7:40 And commercials are continuing. Why aren’t there groovy commercials for the Grammys. This I have no answer to. Also check out GingerSnaps keeping a Live Tweet blog at her house on ‘de web.

7:36 I dig Tara the cello player.

7:33 Jason Bateman, how my crush on you continues to grow. But, you know, you were kinda creepy in Juno. He’s on LA Live and is talking about the Foo Fighters. The Foos will be joined by the My Grammy Orchestra (huh) conducted by John Paul Jones of Led Zepplin. My Grammy Moment is having a competition. So, you get to vote. You have to text which means that you probably have to pay to vote. (Welcome to the world of art and money.) You can vote for free. My bad.

7:31 Cindy Lauper and Miley Cyrus. And the nieces go wild and ask who Cindy is. I may have to chase them with a step. Gooo Cindy. Announcing Best New Artist and the award goes to Amy Winehouse.

7:28 Okay, this kid is good. He’s getting the Beatles better than most folks. Okay, put a gospel chorus in and I’m groovy with that. Let it Be … timeless no matter who you are.

7:27 Yes, I definitely want to be a trapeze artist. Or a Carnival Barker because that’s where the carny money is. Su-weet.

7:24 Debbie Allen really did come out of retirement, didn’t she. I love this song but apparently they found Christopher Lloyd to be in this segment. But, it’s Cirque Soleil so it’s kind of interesting but I’m still channeling Allen but it’s better than Underwood’s segment. I have decided I want to be a trapeze artist.

7:20 Tom Hanks talking about The Band. Now this is what I’m talking about. I guess they are honoring The Band. Tom’s hair is really short. Lifetime Achievement Award recipients. Deserved. But, Tom’s short hair is wigging me out. He’s now talking about The Beatles saying they changed the history of our planet. Agreed. “THE POWER OF THE BEATLES” … well yeah.

7:19 Okay, Morris and Rhianna are getting down together. As Rex said on Twitter, this segment brought by the Letter R. Sesame Street would be so proud.

7:18 Rhianna still singing. She’s still wearing wheat.

7:16 After 700 commercials, it’s MORRIS DAY. Okay, I like Morris Day. He looks pretty good. Man, I think someone should give me his jacket. “Juuunnnggllleee Loooove.” Note: How does one combine Morris Day and Rhianna’s Umbrella. There isn’t enough booze in the world to explain this. Is she wearing wheat?

7:09 – Okay, Alicia Keys just won to the surprise of no one for best R&B for “No One”. Me, I was for Jill Scott but what do I know. She sang with Frank Sinatra then we got some Carrie Underwood which wasn’t too bad but her dancers apparently were choreographed by Debbie Allen. I’ll keep this up for awhile as long as Squirrel Queen brings me wine.
