Twitter is having a collective meltdown because the usual suspects (Swift, Lizzo, Styles, Beyoncé, Adele plus some folks I’ve never heard of) didn’t win.

Give’s me such glee!

Congrats to a Legend for her 13th Grammy.

DailyMail had an article this morning titled "Who is Bonnie Raitt?" Fuck you, Daily Mail and the 20 something "journalist" that wrote that.

Thank God because it seems like somewhere along the way they decided that Lizzo was The Best Thing To Ever Happened To Music and I’m still trying to figure that one out.

That lady can play. If I'm ever President, she's getting an invitation to do a concert from the East Room.

A well-deserved win. It's no surprise that Bonnie's comments were humble and thoughtful. Twitter and the ones who were expected to win can take a lesson from this.

Where the hell did Lizzo come from? Never heard of her and then BOOM! Here she is.


Bonnie Raitt deserves this hugely!

Click bait title…

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Well deserved IMO. Bonnie R. is one of the few older artist I can still manage to watch. She still has it! Unlike so many that still try to perform that shouldn't.

As much as I like Willie I get breathing problems and chest pains and catch myself looking for my breathing inhaler when he tries to sing. He is painful to watch.

First time I heard of her was back in the 70's, when she performed in an outdoor setting on campus, might have even been free. At the time she stayed pretty much drunk and high, as did those who went to the concert. I wasn't into it.

However, when she went clean the albums she came out with in the 80-90's were fantastic, IMHO.

It is one of helluva song I had never heard before. Stupid radio around here doesnt play stuff this good. It really is a great song. It is a wonderful story.

As a long time fan, I was shocked and happy to see her name in the win list for the Grammy's this morning. I did not watch the show, to much nonsense, not enough of the music I find interesting. I did find her acceptance speech online, so very gracious and articulate. Congratulations Ms. Raitt on a recognition well deserved.



Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

Awesome! BR is a great one.

And, I was so looking forward to those two shitheads that performed at the NASCAR event taking home a Grammy. NOT.
