Did you watch the Grammy Awards last night? I did. There are areas in which I adore the National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), which is the governing and voting body for the Grammys. Then there are areas where I ask WTH...

Take songs by two music legends and add in one virtuoso named Luna Lee and you've got magic. What is Lee a virtuoso at?

For some people, when an actor comes out and says something you disagree with, it's hard to watch them in the movies anymore without thinking about their point of view. As time goes by you tend to forget what an incredible actor they really are. I think that's what happened to the band 'Stryper.'
