Speaking of which i went to Louie off Tuesday yesterday (which he sold) and Joe told me that Louie stopped in to say hi....what day.....TUESDAY...oh the madness!
8:50pm Bruno Mars....BOB....and Jenel Mornue...or however you spell it...hell, i spelled Kennys last name wrong before and hes related to me.

8:49 pm And we are back from our 3rd commercial break.......so almost an hour in and here is our current tally. 4 beers, 4 performances, 3 commercials totalling 14 minutes, and 1 grammy given out........why do we call this an awards show?
8:40pm From Miranda Lambert to MUSE.......its like Tom is DJing........MB from Chicago yelling at me for not having the site optomized for mobile devices.........next year i promise....she also yelled at me for trashing Miranda............i guess you'll have to read me my rights......anyone get that joke?
8:38pm Lenny Kravatz......somewhere in Bethpage Delia is getting wet.
8:35pm Eileen and Rob joining us for the 2nd year in a row and commented that GaGa reminded them of the second coming of Madonna.....which is amazing cause i said to the guy sitting next to me at the bar that she actually sounds like Madonna tonight....and it was a very Madonn-esque show she put on...........being compared to Madonna......that is impressive. Miranda Lambert is singing a song that is up for song of the year that i never heard before..........and i hope i never hear again!
8:31pm In the middle of our 2nd commercial break trying to decide if we can survive the whole thing in the bar......i've got jet blue staff.....2 guys more on fire than Ricky Martin and one guy who insists on talking at the top of his voice about the flights today......and a group of teenagers.......AND i spilled some of my beer....NOT GOOD.

8:08pm The chick from Florence and the Machine has pipes man.......would love to see her do a Joplin tune. So McBride was solid...Hudson off and running. For the 2nd straight Sunday Christina is the early disapointment!
8:00pm The 53rd annual grammys are having difficulties from the start.....CBS misses the beginning of their own opening...ONLY CBS. So, we open with.....Aretha Franklin....and as they roll through all the clips of here grammy appearances you can see one thing she never lost her voice and she got bigger with each performance!!!! Ladies Love Cool James comes out to talk about Aretha....apparantly LL things he is Samual L Jackson.....so who is coming out to sing for Aretha who apparantly couldnt be there as she cant get off the couch.......we have Chritina (where are my ramparts) Hudsaon, Adams, mcbride and the chick from Florence and hte Machine...should be interesting!
7:47pm 60 minutes doing a huge segmant on GaGa..........unique or crazy? I say both!
