Yesterday we went out to eat at Mother India, then we stopped by Skedsmo’s at Bislett before we went home at about midnight. When at home I turned on the television and we started watching a show called something like “Top Grammy Performances”. The list had 25 performances, all from Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin singing opera and on second place it was Celin Dion with the Titanic theme song. When they had counted down to second place I guess the time was about 01.30, and Elin was very tired, but she wanted to know who was on first place so she managed. And then…they revealed who won: Green Day with their American Idiot performance. I rolled on the floor laughing, because Green Day is clearly on of top five bands to hate according to Elin, and especially the song American Idiot. She was furious, having stayed up so long, just to get to hear them…
Some of the other performances are listed here http://hubpages.com/hub/Grammy-Performances, Eminem and Elton John and the performance by Eric Clapton singing Tears in Heaven dedicated to his son. So you might understand why we where a bit surprised that Green Day won, not that it did matter to me, I like them, but Elin…need not say more 🙂
