Roxie Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm actually looking forward to it this year, provided they show all of Plant/Krauss' categories on air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm slightly curious but that's about it. I never look forward to the Grammys, and I'm always glad when they're over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pagemeister Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 The actual awards are usually lame, although it was impressive that they gave Herbie Hancock the album of the year last year. The live performances are always good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hoping that Robert and Alison perform live. Me too. Considering the show is in a little over a week, I'm surprised the full line-up of performers hasn't been announced yet.

The Pagemeister Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Robert Plant & Alison Krauss have been added to be the list of performers at the 51st annual Grammy Awards which will be held February 8 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Plant and Krauss told Billboard.com in June that they are hoping to turn their platinum-certified, Grammy Award-winning "Raising Sand" album into a going concern. "I'm in no hurry to go anywhere," Plant told Billboard.com. "I want to stay very close. This is a font of knowledge, and I'm sticking as close to it as I can." Krauss concurred: "We're all having a wonderful time, and I hope and I think all three of us are hoping to continue this and that it go on and on." But she added that the duo's association shouldn't bring the curtain down on any of their other projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croquet'n'cocaine Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 What is a font of knowledge? I think "font" is an olden days way of saying "fountain". I used to have a book when I was a kid called "The Knight Mine Of Information". This turned out to be a "Mine Of Information" published by a company called Knight, but I spent many years wondering what the hell a "Knight Mine" was supposed to be, and why it should contain information.

I appreciate that, but he referred to 'This', which was not apparent, but thank you. It's not your fault. It was just another one of his cryptic remarks.

Yes, I took it to be refering to Alison and T-Bone etc. They are a font of knowledge about all that music that Robert's into at the moment.

Juliet Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi: I saw an ad today for the Grammy Nominess CD..I have the day off work so I went to the store to find this CD.. Please Read the Letter is included...but I don't like most of the other tunes.. I heard another announcement about the performers..I see the Taylor Swift will do a duet with Miley Cyrus... With all the young performers I wonder if Robert and Alison will feel like chaperones at this show on Sunday? Juliet PS So why isn't Madonna on the show...something wrong with older women now?

Not sure why they would feel like chaperones at the show? I don't know why Madonna isn't on the show - maybe she was asked and opted out or maybe they didn't want her performing. I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with her age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
