Trevor Noah's accent made it sound like he was introducing The Doors to open the #Grammys. (Which would have been a good L.A. representative). #ItWasDawes

Probably uncharitable to point out Randy Newman's "I Love L.A." was written tongue-in-cheek (and where is he in this all star band?). #Grammys

Then again, hot jazz from 100 years ago won best historical album and notes: King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band & Others: "Centennial" boxed set. #Grammys

Only 60 years too late: Beatles win best rock song, the Rolling Stones best rock album at 2025 #Grammys. 50 years late: John Lennon's "Mind Games" wins best package.

#Grammy winners I can get behind so far: Gillian Welch & David Rawlins (folk LP); Justice & Tame Impala (dance/electronic), St. Vincent (rock song & alternative performance); Kacey Musgraves (country song); Billy Strings (bluegrass); Jimmy Carter (audio book).

The weird in-house mapping as they read nominees for each category has so far froze up just once so far at the #GoldenGlobes.

What happened to last year's #GoldenGlobes host? Jo Koy is glimpsed in promo for CBS reboot of "Hollywood Squares," exiled to one of its cubicles.

Nikki Glaser finds just the right tone in a well-done #GoldenGlobes opening monologue -- sharp and funny but sidestepping direct hits on the Hollywood stars present.

Resolve to start using BlueSky more after ignoring Twitter for more than a year. But I see the trending topics as I do so are Caturday and Newcastle Spurs, so this may be an adjustment.
