The 60th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony were held last night in New York, the first time the event has been held outside of Los Angeles since 2003. The high lights of the night were Elton John, Miley, Bruno and U2. The Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest Festival tribute tragedy was given the healing hands of Brothers Osborne, Maren Morris and Eric Church; and not a dry eye in the house.
You may not even have to be a Bruno Mars fan to appreciate Bruno Mars, but this man of the hour earned nine Grammy’s in last night’s New York broadcast. With a surprise visit by legendary rocker and early co-founder of today’s music Chuck Berry’s son reflecting on the Grammy’s and his late father. There was the #MeToo movement. Oh, what a night it was…
