if you are looking for a little peace and quiet, don’t watch the grammy awards with my dad
Ok sit back, put on your super fresh tuxedo, your Nike dunks and your 3D glasses and enjoy a Grammys recap (brought to you by my dad’s commentary throughout the awards show). Oh wait, you don’t have 3D glasses? Me neither. Well, this post might be a little blurry.

“Who’s that?” my dad asks.
“Fergie,” I answer.
“And who’s that?”
“Still Fergie. Different outfit.”
___
“Who’s that?” my dad asks.
“Pink,” I explain.
“I think she’s the same person as that Lady Gaga. They look the same. They are totally the same person.”
“I promise you, they are different people.”
___
“Where’s Frank Sinatra?” my dad asks.
“He’s dead,” Rick responds because I’m momentarily out of energy.
___
“Who’s this Alice Cooper? Is he the one who played the ukulele?” my dad asks.
“No, Tiny Tim played the ukulele,” Rick explains.
____
“Dad, do you know that is? You must know who that is,” I ask, suddenly re-energized.
“No. Who is it?” my dad says.
“Ryan Seacrest.”
“Oh! He’s from American Idol,” my dad exclaims. My dad has suddenly boarded the pop culture train.
“Seacrest is one of the judges that just got kicked off American Idol. Right?” he continues.
Umm.. no. But at least he got the right show.
____
“Is that Celine Dion?” my dad asks.
“No. Carrie Underwood,” Rick says.
“But Celine should be flattered,” I add.
____
“Ok I’m going to bed,” my dad says as he takes one more glance at the screen. “Hey, that’s Sheryl Crow.”
“Nice call dad. You’re right.”
“She looks great. But I hate her earrings.”
I’m sure she’ll be crushed.

Oh and I think some singers won some awards. But who cares about that. Or if you do, click here. And my dad is still available for the Oscars if you’re interested in watching it with him. But act fast before he’s booked.
mama bird notes:
Lost seriously lost me in season two but if you are one of the obsessed and you are living for Tuesday, then you must read Contributing Mama Daphne Biener’s latest piece. At the very least, you can weigh in on who’s the hottest guy on Lost. Daphne certainly has hers picked out. Click here.

Dads are like that. . . yeah, they are!

Frank Sinatra isn’t dead, he’s just disguised as Fergie. I thought everyone knew that.
[Reply]
I’m pretty sure Pink and Lady Gaga are the same person. You never see them in the same room together, do you?
[Reply]
I’m with your dad (hi Tommy Tom)..Lady Gaga is the new Pink and Rihanna and Beyonce two for one. Aso that darling Taylor Swift can’t hit many notes; would never have made it past Simon!
[Reply]
Woops… looks like aso! Meant also:) she is darling.

I love your dad. I’m reminded of a time when I was watching tv with my father and the Stones were singing. My old Texas lawyer father watched Mick strut around for a while then muttered under his breath in his old Texas lawyer way “Well…I guess he thinks he’s something.”
[Reply]
Wait! Frank is dead? LOL!

Quite funny commentary with your dad. I’m just jealous because I could never comprehend watching an awards show with my dad. I have no idea if he knows who any of those people are.
[Reply]
Hilarious! This is how I am when my husband watches football. Oh the guy from the whatever commercial. Yes, I have been banned from the room before. Ha.

this is why i avoid watching anything with my dad. love the man to tears but the questions and statements…and if its a crime show he has it figured out 7 minutes into it. :-}

We don’t tend to watch award shows in my house. Though, I think that rule might change if we knew your dad was coming over for dinner.
[Reply]
i think i would rather watch your dad than the grammy’s
[Reply]
Too funny! Sounds like me explaining the show to one of my sons! I had to explain to him that Lady Gaga and Pink’s outfits were purely for visual effect!
[Reply]
I think we should send in a application for your dad to be on the red carpet next year…there is real potential! I see him as the BEST part of the show.
[Reply]
I just wish my dad were still alive to watch ‘patterns’ on the t.v. screen. You’ll miss him…I miss my dad..
[Reply]
Am I too late? I definitely want him for the Oscars. I have a feeling this is going to be Bette Davis’ year!
[Reply]
What are the Grammys?
I think your dad and I would get along great.
[Reply]
He should be live on the red carpet.
[Reply]
First I thought your dad and my mom had similar ideas and that was o.k.
Then I realized that I had similar ideas as well.
OY.
[Reply]
I love that. I think US Weekly should give him a feature.
[Reply]
[...] but then I realized that Kelcey thinks I’m cute in the same way that she thinks that her dad is cute. Whatever. I did some internet research, and there’s a really lively debate about the [...]
Sounds like you had a good time. Can’t wait to hear how the Oscars go!
