Just when I thought my wife was going to force me to watch a new PBS series, instead she made me watch the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grammy.com\/nominees\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Grammy Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t all bad either. Lots of musically talented children of God were there. For instance, two of the selections from the <a href=\"http:\/\/yimcatholic.blogspot.com\/2011\/02\/salt-and-light-and-vinyl-hits-music-for.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">MfM post last<\/a> week won awards.\u00a0<i>The Black Keys<\/i> won \u201cBest Alternative Album,\u201d and <i>Arcade Fire<\/i>\u00a0won the \u201cAlbum of the Year.\u201d So you see, I wasn\u2019t completely in the dark after all!<br><a name=\"more\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><br>I can\u2019t share all the winners with you here, but I\u2019ll give you a taste of some of them. And a few others that are just enjoyable to listen to.<\/p>\n<p><b>Lady Antebellum<\/b>, <i>Need You Now.<\/i> The winner of the Grammy for \u201cSong of the Year\u201d and \u201cRecord of the Year.\u201d Over the past year, this group has rocketed to stardom in the country segment. They thanked God in front of the whole world, so kudos for that! They also have broader appeal, or they wouldn\u2019t have won in this category. If you missed them last night, catch them here.<\/p>\n<p><b>Arcade Fire<\/b>, <i>Sprawl II.<\/i> This band won \u201cAlbum of the Year\u201d for <i>The Suburbs<\/i> Truthfully, the song they played on the show was hard on the eyes, what with stobe lights a flashin\u2019 and BMX bikes running roughshod all over the stage. This song is markedly better as a showcase for this groups talents. Have a look,<\/p>\n<p><b>Neil Young<\/b>, <i>Angry World.<\/i> The winner of the Grammy for \u201cBest Rock Song.\u201d Remember my Neil Young <a href=\"http:\/\/yimcatholic.blogspot.com\/2010\/05\/thanks-to-neil-young-music-for-mondays.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">music post?<\/a> There I reported that Neil had never won a Grammy before and I was left scratching my head. No more, <a href=\"http:\/\/artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com\/2010\/01\/31\/neil-young-wins-first-ever-grammy-award\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">because Neil finally won(!)<\/a> for this song last night. From his new album <i>Le Noise,<\/i> we get just Neil, his trusty Gretch White Falcon, and lyrics like these,<\/p>\n<p><i>Some see life as hope eternal<br>Some see life as a business plan<br>Some will go to hell\u2019s inferno<br>For screwing up their life in freedom land<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Barbara Streisand<\/b>, <i>Evergreen.<\/i> Not this years winner, but Barbara sang this back in 1976 and pulled down a Triple Crown: the Oscar for Best Song, the Grammy for Song of the Year, and the Golden Globe to boot. It\u2019s a great song for Valentines Day!<\/p>\n<p><b>Boz Scaggs<\/b>, <i>Lowdown.<\/i>I remember this one from the radio. Boz won a Grammy in 1977 for this song, noted as \u201cthe first blue-eyed soul man to receive one for the R&amp;B; category.\u201d  Have a listen and you\u2019ll understand why.<\/p>\n<p><b>Whitney Houston,<\/b> <i>I Will Always Love You.<\/i> Remember this one? Written (and sung originally) by Dolly Parton, Whitney won a Grammy for \u201cAlbum of the Year\u201d in 1994 mainly because of this song from the soundtrack of the movie <i>The Bodyguard.<\/i> She co-starred with Kevin Costner as a threatened diva. A great song by Dolly and sung beautifully by Whitney. Just in time for Valentines Day too! <\/p>\n<p><b>Pete Townsend,<\/b> <i>Give Blood.<\/i> This song is from one of Pete\u2019s solo album\u2019s. It didn\u2019t win a Grammy but I like it anyway. Great lyrics, and a great Grammy-like performance. Special guest David Gilmore of <i>Pink Floyd<\/i> on lead guitar. Awesome!<\/p>\n<p>Happy Valentines Day!<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/6738513599344023043-1933159215741737199?l=yimcatholic.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2014Feast of St. Valentine\u00a0\u00a0 So the Grammy\u2019s were on last night.
