Okay, we're in the home stretch. It's past our bedtime, so let's hurry this thing up. Gary Sinise, don't ask us why, took the stage to introduce a music segment to honor New Orleans. What? Fast fucking forward! During the fast forward it looks like L'il Wayne is rapping, faster forward!
.
Next was the Best Rap Album. Rap has become in the 21st Century what disco was in the late 1970's: way overdone and way past its prime. It's a musical fad that jumped the shark a long, long time ago and now just needs to go away. L'il Wayne won. Fast forward!!

The Blind Boys of Alabama and Tom Paxton won Lifetime Achievement Awards and were honored with 7 seconds of video coverage. Way to honor your legends, Grammys. Shit!

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss took the stage to sing "Rich Woman" and "Gone, Gone, Gone" from their album "Raising Sand". Then Green Day came out to announce the winner of "Album of the Year" was the same "Raising Sand", causing much commotion among the pre-pubes who, we're sure, don't even know who Krauss or Plant are, and are upset because none of the songs from their album sound like anything Miss Timberlake would sing. Oh well, you'll figure it out one day, kids. Shockingly, we read somewhere that Led Zeppelin never won a Grammy, which is truly hard to believe, but maybe this award will help to somewhat erase that huge error in past Grammy judgement.
.
Stevie Wonder closed out the show with a song, he still sounds great at 58. Actually it's hard to believe he's only 58, it seems like he's been a star much longer than that, but then you have to remember he had his first hit song at age 11.
