As award shows go last night's Grammys were pretty good. Big performances by Beyonce, Green Day, Pink and others anchored the show in between award presentations. Basically more fodder for Lady Gaga fans/detractors and a bleeped out performance by Lil' Wayne and Eminem.
The big winners were Beyonce (record-breaking 6 awards) and Taylor Swift won Album of the Year.
While Grammys are a chance to see huge stars on stage I prefer the DVR approach. I can skip all the junk and go straight to the music.
