My Thoughts on the Grammy's

By Conor

I bet you read that title and thought I would be writing about grandmothers. Sorry people, I wish it were true but unfortunately I am writing about the Grammy music award ceremony, also known as the Grammy's. It used to be considered an important event...but then Lil' Wayne won three awards. After this caused me some serious reevaluation of life, here are some more random thoughts I took from the spectacle:

• Why is it called the Grammy's anyway? Couldn't they come up with a better name? I looked it up and it's because the trophy is of a replica gramophone record player. Makes sense I guess.

• I really enjoyed that nearly every presenter of an award had to perform a song before doing so. It was strange and I found it very awkward... which is why I enjoyed it.

• Do you think Kanye West screams his own name during sex? What would the odds be? 2 to 1? Can we even put a line on it or is it considered fact?

• Paul McCartney was great, but I was baffled by the song choice. He could have done any Beatles song and they went with "I Saw Her Standing There". I love the song don't get me wrong, but it doesn't exactly jump out at me when I think of their best. I think I mulled that one over for a good 45 minutes after and I'm still scratching my head.

• I had to check my calendar several times during the night to make sure we were still living in 2009 because I could have sworn I saw Neil Diamond perform "Sweet Caroline". Wait...he did, you say? I'm officially confused.

• Loved the tribute to The Four Tops, my favorite Motown group. I always liked them more than the Temptations. R.I.P. Levi Stubbs.
  

• I got a kick out of the repeated declaration that we had a "once in a lifetime rap pack" with Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and T.I. on stage. I can think of 200 other rap packs better than that one...and not one includes Lil' Wayne or Kanye. Gotta love Hip Hop in the 21st century!

• I'd like to give M.I.A. two of my own awards. "Most blatant and obvious lip sync" and "Most pregnant performer ever". Congrats, M.I.A.!

• Maybe the most unintentionally funny moment of the night came when Natalie Cole presented "Record of the Year" and said the name of the song wrong four times. Classic.

• Refreshing to see a great artist like Robert Plant rack up the awards, including "Best Record".
  

And last but not least.....

• Lil' Wayne won 2 Grammy's over Nas, the best rapper alive. I will now proceed to jump off a cliff.

Ahhh the Grammy's...Where dreams come true and lives end!

"Ughhhhh"

Blink is Back
by Rick

If you watched the Grammy's last night or have been to Blink's website recently you now know that the trio is back. Mark, Tom and Travis have decided to go on tour this summer and record another album. I am happy about this. Blink 182 was a big part of my childhood, and I would like to see them once more perhaps. I saw them play with Green Day along time ago, but that was when I was in the midst of my Green Day dick riding phase. The three of them are incredible showmen and Travis Barker is a maniac. As a 20 year old original fan I'm excited by this reunion, especially because both +44 and Angels & Airwaves were not good. This will be the most nostalgic concert I've ever been to if I infact do go. The younger generations seem to be excited too. CMHB decided to ask 12 year old Brianna what her thoughts of all this. We recieved this message back:

"OMG Blink is my favvvvvvvvvorite band everrr! Tom is so so sooo cute :-* and I have liked them ever since I was 9 soo I'm soo excited to finallly beable to seee them. This will be the best day everrrr! They are so much better than the Jonas Brothers."

Hot Bitch of the Day
Beyonce Knowles

If you can't see the beauty in this woman then you are out of your damn mind. Nothing really needs to be said here except Beyonce, you are the hot bitch of the day!

Normally we do one hot bitch a day, but as tommorrow is 2/10, I do not feel it appropriate to do the Hot Bitch segment tomorrow, and since we've been slacking on the hot bitches recently I decided to do today's and tomorrow's right now. Check out tomorrow's blog if you do not understand.

Hot Bitch of Tomorrow
Rihanna

This hot bitch is currently in the hospital. Apparently her boyfriend Chris Brown beat her. I'm sorry, but Chris Brown does not seem like a woman beater. The guy was on Sesame Street. He has lost his Double Mint ad campaign because of this. Rihanna, stick in there, we love you, we would never hit you, becuase your the hot bitch of tomorrow.
