My Two Grammys

My kids have played a pivotal role in exposing me to new music this year.  So much, in fact, that I got my old butt in gear and actually tuned in to watch the Grammy Awards (full story HERE in Chicago Parent).

I have only watched the Grammys twice in my life. The 1984 Grammys shattered all existing records and still remain the most-watched broadcast ever. Most experts point to the height of Michael Jackson's popularity and the Thriller album.

And the second-most watched Grammys?

That would be 2013.

So based on the evidence before you, it is clear that Michael Jackson was never the root cause of that ratings bonanza.  It was all me.  I am apparently the ultimate decider on what kind of ratings the Grammys get.  If I watch?  All bets are off.

If those Grammy people were smart, I should expect to receive my formal invitation in the mail next year. 

Now who wants to design my gown? I'm thinking floor-length with lots of bling. 

Maybe even a tiara.
