If you asked me this morning if I was going to watch the Grammys, my response would’ve been “when are they?”  No idea, don’t care.  No sizzle for the Grammys, despite the fact that they’ve actually turned a corner in improving the telecast with big artists, “once in a lifetime” duets etc.  I found it to be one of the odder phenomenons of the music business how MTV stole all the juice from the Grammys with the VMAs for many years, turned the music awards show into a spectacle and now the Grammys have stolen it all back.  On top of that, the concept of Grammy parties thrown by the labels seems about as irresponsible as that friend of yours who rolls up in a Porche, you wonder how the heck he could afford that vehicle, and then realize his credit cards are ganked to the max to “make ends meet.”

So what brings a jaded mofo like me back to watch the Grammys?  Reading on the Tripwire that Radiohead is rumored to be performing, either “House Of Cards” or “15 Step with the USC Marching Band.  Whoa to the baby.  Suddenly the Grammys become DVR-worthy.
