1. Kenny Chesney is friends with Morgan Freedman
2. Coldplay, though not the heaviest of rock bands, is more like limestone. A little lighter but just as charming.
3. BLINK182 IS BACK TOGETHER.
And to think I wasn't planning on watching The Grammys. When I heard "Together, the guys from Blink 182, Mark, Tom and Travis." I thought wow, someone really screwed up that writing. Then I realized it indeed was the trio, on the same stage, Mark and Tom actually close enough to touch.
It's the first time I've seen Travis since the plane crash, and I find it oddly-but-fittingly-funny that Travis, the man who almost died and still has his arm in a sling, opened the damn envelope. (Gotta love the run on sentence)
And what the hell is up with Tom's arm behind his back? Fingers crossed?
I have mixed feelings. Blink182 was one of my favorite bands, and I was disappointed I wouldn't get to hear their sound evolve further. But I also really like the work Mark and Travis did with +44. Summer 2009 cannot come fast enough.
And a random observation: Kid Rock is an interesting amalgamation, but truly talented. Through the years I've liked a couple of his songs. There's no doubt that he puts on a great show. He has an unique blend of rock and country. A mix perfected to satisfy rock fans but be tame enough for Top 40 Radio. He's oddly melodious when he's not rocking hard, rasping about drugs, booze or women. And to confuse conservatives even more, he's loyal to his hometown of Detroit and madly Patriotic.
BUT WHO THE HELL CARES?! BLINK 182 IS BACK TOGETHER!!

Well fingers crossed anyways....
Ah, Kid. You know - because of being a biker, I have been able to see Kid perform many times, and I am now a cult fan. To see him perform in person is amazing. He can play all the instruments, and well. And he does. He takes time to do each of them - and then gives that band member a chance to sing, or do something else in the limelight. In all I've seen of him, the best was on a hillside in northern MI last summer. THAT is how rock and roll was meant to be enjoyed.
Glad you have an open mind about him. Not everyone can see past his image to see the musician/entertainer that he is!
