Gone but not forgotten: awards shows wherein honorees were honored with more than two sentences.
Back when I was younger (when we walked uphill to school -- both ways -- in the snow -- barefoot and pregnant [wait -- I think I'm mixing my cliches]), before the world got so "tweeted up", the audience would at least see a clip package or hear a meaningful delivery from a thoughtful presenter. Leonard Cohen ... Loretta Lynn ... Bobby Darin ... all trustee winners last evening at the Grammys, and all whose lifetime achievements were seemingly reduced to a statement that met the 140 character limit of a tweet. [By the way, can Andrea Bocelli do anything without David Foster anymore -- it's like he's become Andrea's new assistance animal!]
Meaningful tributes at the Grammy for which you do not need 3D glasses -- you will be missed.
