- Joe Walsh’s guitar faces
- Maroon 5 needing a backing band of 12 session players in order to reproduce a Beach Boys song
- Dave Grohl’s inability to play a guitar solo
- Bon Iver winning best new artist even though the first album came out in 2008. That’s like giving Kevin Durant Rookie of the Year this year.

Nice LOL list.
Not only is Bon Iver not new, but Cee-Lo Green and Bruno Mars were back for the second year in a row with the same albums!
But Bon Iver was getting a trophy, no matter what. ”One suspects if Bon Iver hadn’t won something, another category would have hastily been arranged for them.” (from my Grammy wrap http://t.co/FhqHVI4S ). ” If judges are so keen to recognize Most Earnest Album, start a new category. Bon Iver and the Mumfords could share.”
Fank you for putting this together. Fank you very much.
That’s awesome. I can’t watch the Grammies – they are mostly unwatchable, although there seems to be one or two moments each year that I enjoy (thanks to YouTube and news clips for allowing me to see them). Perhaps I should start watching purely for the comedy factor, though.
How about my old band (now called “Instant People”) playing behind Glen Campbell!? bad ass.
That must have been a bit bittersweet @John Hamby
“Bon Iver winning best new artist even though the first album came out in 2008. That’s like giving Kevin Durant Rookie of the Year this year.”
I’d been saying the same thing to my friends, except with Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons in the slot of Kevin Durant!
Good work – I literally laughed out loud and blew my ‘busily-working-at-desk’ cover.
I really like your list. This is hilarious
