Like me, weren’t you expecting Bruce Springsteen saying something about Clarence Clemons when he performed on Sunday night at the Grammys? I was looking for some sort of homage, especially because they opened the show, they were kind of in the spotlight weren’t they?
But Maceo Parker, who played with James Brown and Parliament Funkadelic, wrote the following on his facebook page:
‘Thanks so much or all your messages and tweets about the GRAMMYs. I can now reveal that I was asked to perform a Clarence Clemmons tribute and then it got dropped to accommodate the tribute to Whitney Houston.’
What? I understand the tribute to Houston was unavoidable, but this doesn’t make any sense, how long was that crap anyway? Close to 4 hour long and they could not find 3 minutes for Clarence Clemons?
How many times did we see this girlfriend beater on stage anyway, was that necessary? And didn’t Dave Grohl seem to be constantly on stage too? And all that Nicki Minaj thing may have been entertaining for some, but it was just a pile of grotesque comedy flirting with the divergent without being offensive enough.
And why didn’t Parker play with Bruce and the E street Band when they opened the show? This is so weird, but again, the Grammys are so weird.
