I don’t always watch the Grammys. It can be a bloated, over politicized, and a clueless evening. And they have a history of treating the Country format horribly. Or is that the MTV Awards? No matter.
However, there are always a number of good things happening at the Grammy Awards. It’s like Saturday Night Live, you have to sit through a lot of junk to see something very well done. I did watch the entire show this year and found quite a few things to be cheering about.
First and foremost was the quote of the evening from Vince Gill. Shortly after Kanye West’s pompous speech, Vince was presented “Country Album of the Year” by Ringo Starr. During his gracious acceptance, in grand Vince off the cuff style he said, “I just got an award given to me by a Beatle. Have you had that happen yet, Kanye?” The best moment of the night.
