After turning it on and seeing Chris Brown, I couldn’t watch any more.
Glad Levon got a nod though!
No kidding, he was terrible. Was waiting on Adele, so kind of watched until Walking Dead was on. Did you see the Beach Boys? Foster the People did one of their tunes and were quite good.
I read an interview with the front man of Foster the People in Rolling Stone and he said something disparaging about James Taylor – along the lines of He’s old, who cares about what he said – which totally turned me off. Which was easy because I don’t think Pumped Up Kicks is such a great song…
They seemed a bit more focussed last night. They did the song very well. The JT thing was inexcusable though.
The copy on you tube is pretty bad. I’ll keep my eye out for a better one and give it a listen…
