x-out (grammy awards live blog)
And here concludes my live blog coverage of the 49th Annual Grammy Awards.
I think it's just great that the Dixie Chicks were able at last to overcome the bad press from that one little anti-Bush remark so long ago and pick up five whole Grammys, including both Record of the Year and Album of the Year.
I'm not a huge fan of them or anything — until tonight, I hadn't even heard "I'm Not Ready to Make Nice" — but, like everyone with TV access, I had heard about the huge stink country fans and conservatives had made about their opinion of the president. Like many, I thought, "Who cares?" and went on with my life.
And so did they. They kept going and made more music, and now they're back — with the awards to prove it. Good for them!
I hope y'all have enjoyed watching the awards show with me, and I hope you'll tune in Sunday, Feb. 25, for my Oscar Night party!
