Huh, interesting. The mics were definitely picking up a lot of extraneous sound. I too heard someone yell “Ow!” and I overheard snippets of spoken conversations between a couple of people. I guess that’s what you get with a live broadcast, though.
My concern was that Clint would catch fire during his speech. It was getting wild and smokey.
Yeah, Clint Eastwood looked like he rolled out of his cardboard box in the back alley and walked onto stage. My mother looked at the TV and was like, “Oh my GAWD, Clint! You look like a BUM!” And those candles were totally smoking. We thought he’d start choking any second. I found it amusing that Neil Young was about to knock someone over, too. I hated Mariah Carey’s squeaking in the background. Shut the fuck up, Mrs. Diva. Go back to rehab…and take Celine Dion with you! I was so GLAD she quit the music business or whatever. Thank God. May you fall off the face of the earth…
[sub][sup]Mebbe Ima overreacting. Or a little stressed.[/sup][/sub]
FTR, Neil Young’s son is severely autistic. He would not have been on a stage singing with his father. Vedder and Young are pretty good pals, though, and they’ve recorded and performed together quite a bit.
When did Boyz II Men cease to be a boy band? Or was that some sound-alike group backing up Stevie?
[obnoxious] Is that something they do with coke in California? [/obnoxious]
And girls, if you would be so kind a to take SFT’s suggestion, could you grab Christina Aguilara and take that bitch with you as you go? Please?
There’s someone I wish would shut the fuck up truly. Even the remake of Lady Marmalade would have been tolerable without her wailing and moaning.
JFTR I like Pink, Mya, Missy E and Lil Kim–at least she’s honest about her raunchiness.
My only complaint was Halley Berry looking so damn sexy at such a solemn occasion. Well not really a complaint so much as a guilty pleasure.
Are you sure it’s autism his son has? I thought he had two sons, both with Down’s Syndrome.
That “ow” you heard mighta been me during Bon Jovi’s segment. It pained me. Mariah Carey’s already been covered in this thread.
I believe both of Neil Young’s sons have cebreal palsy. I read an interview with him once where someone was trying to say that it was his fault d/t his history of drug use. Neil was very knowlegable on the subject. I forget the exact numbers but it’s like one in thousands chance that one child will be born with this disease and he has two children with it but he was not responsible for it.
Yep. That’s what I’ve read, and from two different moms.
Okay then. I was sure it was two sons, both with the same thing; I’d just never heard autism mentioned.
Why is it ironic for a Canadian to sing “God Bless America?” From what I understand, anyone is pretty much free to ask the Deity of Their Choice<sub>tm</sub> to bless anything.
Nonny “Hera bless Iceland!” Mouse
Well, since somebody already threw the ball, I’ll hit it out of the park…
The Bon Jovi segment totally cheesed me off. You can’t come up with a more patriotic song than “Livin’ on a Prayer”?!?
Just speaking for myself and the squirrel in my pocket…
