Electrophile Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 We may have to survive a Neil Diamond performance first. Robert owes us a tour now! Robert owes us nothing, dear. If Robert chooses to tour, with whatever group of musicians he so desires, it will be because he wants to, not because someone on the internet feels entitled to it.

ninelives Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 A 3 1/2 hour show with two hours of commericals. At least it seems. The breaks have been long. I know and they've only given out a handful of awards relative to the number of awards given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanadu Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Where do you live, Zanadu? In Finland. I used to watch too many gala shows when I was a teenager, but not anymore in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrophile Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I know and they've only given out a handful of awards relative to the number of awards given. 2/3 of the Grammys are given out before the televised portion of the show starts. Which is why sometimes artists will be on the red carpet being interviewed and they find out they've won X number of Grammys already. There's about 100+ categories to give out, and frankly that's too much. They need to whittle that down. We don't need an award given out for the Best Spoken Word Poetry Album Set to African Tribal Drums Played By Finnish Dwarves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanie_72 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Will it be a lucky 13? Wonder who they polled there? Must have been the MTV crowd. Oh yeah, I think Neil Diamond is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it I'm not on the boards for 2 months, I come back and read 2 pages of ONE thread and have to hear this again..... I think it was a JOKE.... I see the sense of humor hasn't been enriched since I was last here....oye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Gotta love Neil Diamond. Absolutely! You don't get much more over the top than that. But I love it. Especially, Holly Holy. You can't do much better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a JOKE.... I see the sense of humor hasn't been enriched since I was last here....oye. Well, you know something? It's very difficult to separate the sarcasm from an honest-to-God opinion when there are people here who actually think that way. I'm sure you know this already, but there's no dearth of posters here who think that Robert Plant and/or the other members of Led Zeppelin owe them a tour because way back in 1971, they bought an album. They're serious about believing that *fill in musician here* owes them a tour. OWES it to them. And those people are full of horsepuckey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he's kind of a Rap Lite as it were lol. A nice tribute. Remember Jazz Fest coming up last week of April and first week of May. Great line up this year.
