Kanye's night @ the Grammy's

I usually don't give two nickels about the Grammy's but a few items were worth posting -- and no, not that a crack addict (Amy Winehouse) won best new artist, song and record!

First, Kanye West's somber rendition of "Hey, Mama" with new lyrics:

Last night I saw you in my dreams/
and now I can’t wait to go to sleep/



However, later on during his acceptance speech for best rap album when talking about his late mother, noted scholar Donda West, the orchestra kept playing the "Wrap it up, B" music.

How bogus is that!?! In typical fashion, the always outspoken Kanye shut 'em down, quick.

Also noteworthy, legendary jazz musician Herbie Hancock won album of the year for River: The Joni Letters. That's an overdue victory for jazz considering the last time the genre was honored was 1964's "Getz/Gilberto," by the American saxophonist Stan Getz and Brazilian guitarist Joao Gilberto.
