Last night was a wild ride at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, CA. I could feel the suspension as I crossed my fingers for my favorite artists and bands to win the prestigious golden Grammy. At points I was out of my seat with excitement for certain winners and performances while at others I sunk back in to my red futon wishing another name had been called. At any rate, all of the artists worked extremely hard this past year and deserved all the they got.
