Greetings and Welcome to your Grammy Preview.

First, and hopefully a part of tomorrow's monologue:

Tom Sizemore is crazy. http://www.thewhizzinator.com/whiz2.htm

Do you think he googled this like I did?

Ahem?!?! Grammy Preview, right...Back to real life.


Record of the Year:
Yeah! Usher and Lil John, Ludacris
It is a good recording. I am sick of it so that's gotta give it value.

Album of the Year:
American Idiot, Green Day
I loved Kanye West's College Dropout. Probably more than American Idiot, but its old. It could have been nominated last year. I'm really going with Green Day because it says something. It is an anti-Bush rock song for almost an hour, and I like that. I really think the next wave in music could be predicated on this album. Rather than the folk music of the sixties, we will have more electric confessional or political music. Anyway, Green Day. Hard to believe, from gutterpunks, to mud throwing, to Grammy Winners, could happen.

Song of the Year:
Jesus Walks, Kanye West
Please, like this is even close. Jesus Walks is absolutely awesome. I can't think of a greater achievement in hip hop, since probably Nutin' but a G Thang.

New Artist:
Maroon 5
Please snub Kanye here. Hootie won, where are they now? Well actually they are still quite viable, just not in an album making sense. Really this is Kanye's to lose, I just hope Gretchen Wilson will step in for him. I take that back, we could have The Lonely chicos win and disappear. (bad choice of words) And go away happy.

In scanning the Grammy nods, I see great metal band names and some that try too hard.
Cradle of Filth's album is better than their name: Nymphetamine, Killswitch Engage, I like that one, Hatebreed c'mon!

Also nominated for a Grammy for country group the song:
It's Hard to Kiss the Lips at Night that Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long.

Finally pull for Steve Earle, Ben Harper, and Wilco who go up against PJ Harvey, Bjork, Franz Ferdinand, and Modest Mouse, Wilco might win, as they are going to have Grammy camera's on tour with them Sunday. By the way if I ever have a Modest Mouse cover band we will be called Modest Moose, just because that is such a good band name.

You've been a great audience!

Remember these Green Day gems: Christie Road, Dominated Love Slave, and Brain Stew. They have been fun for the last thirteen years.
