Grammies

The Minister of Music and the Arts, Mr. C., advised the mayor to tune in tonight to the Grammy Music Award show. Worth every minute. Lots of great talent on display this year; and it included pop phenom ADELE. I believe she walked with 6 Grammies tonight including Album of the year- her"21". Nice work for the Brit. Great article in the Wall Street Journal that explains the musical formula that explains the success of her top hits.
Some of the tributes tonight went to singer Whitney Houston found dead in her hotel room late yesterday. Whatever the cause, this woman has suffered from substance abuse for years, and has not led the charmed life often associated with critical acclaim, wealth, and terrific talent.
Taylor Swift was another winner tonight. She sang a number of songs to the enjoyment of attendees.
The pace was 'swift' and the finale was performed by Sir Paul McCartney and the Foo Fighters.
