I far prefer the ballads when the lyrics told a story and the melody was beautiful. I just can't appreciate today's music of a loud repetitive beat and senseless inane lyrics. <br /><br />Give me a Cole Porter number like "Begin the Beguine" over anything that is popular today. I even prefer the silly songs of Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-19285766086931651362011-03-07T00:08:43.877-08:002011-03-07T00:08:43.877-08:00Joy: I think the behavior reflects that typical y...Joy: I think the behavior reflects that typical young age group's obsession with sex. What's different between my generation and theirs is the need they have to overtly flaunt their sexuality i.e. Michael Jackson needing to grab his crotch which titillated many.

This year's show was a mixed bag for me...and for some of the same reasons you mention. I enjoyed a good portion of it...especially the tribute to Aretha Franklin at the beginning with those five or six ladies belting out some of her songs...among them, Yolanda Adams, Christina Aquilera, Martina McBride, Jennifer Hudson. They all were Joy Des Jardinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893445642606862131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-33498550752327726122011-03-04T16:47:59.266-08:002011-03-04T16:47:59.266-08:00OldOldLady: I certainly agree with you that over-...OldOldLady: I certainly agree with you that over-amplification is not only unpleasant but damages hearing. It's no coincidence that there is increasing need for Audiologists to test for permanent hearing damage and selling hearing aids that are less than perfect substitutes for human hearing function.<br /><br />Dick: Glad you could appreciate my perspective of Grammy Awards.
