(no subject)
Well my cold made it difficult to sleep in bed so I was couch'n it last night. I turned on the TV and tried to go to sleep. There really wasn't anything on and I fell asleep while Letterman was on. I don't even remember anything about it. I did pop over to VH1 around 11p and saw the UK Music Hall of Fame 2006 induction ceremony was on. What was strange about it, for all I watched, was that they were inducting more US artists than their own. WTF?
They got James Brown, Brian Willson, John BonJovi, and finally a Brit - Led Zepplin (Jimmy Page accepted). Willson looked like he would have rather been somewhere else and made a few quick and choppy comments when he came to the podium to accept. He ran off to stage right and sang Good Vibrations. About half way through he started to look like he was actually having a good time.
James Brown acted like he had been out of the spotlight so long that he didn't quite know what to say. It was uncomfortable for me to even watch as I got the impression he didn't even know he was in the UK. He did however perform and it was pretty damned good.
I can't remember what Page did because I started nodding off around that time, although I remember it was good and his female backup singer with the tatoo on her left arm could belt one out...
About then I had enough presence of mind to flip back over to the local channel so I could see the morning news when I woke up and ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
