​You'll Never Be Quite the Same

Grandma on the Grammys

          Nothing makes me feel past my expiration date quite like the Grammy Awards show, which we watched last night for about an hour with Sam and Tess. First of all, two of the biggest winners are many years younger than my youngest child. Second, I find the sensory overload, both in spectacle and decibel, exhausting. Third, I could hardly understand most lyrics. Fourth, so many insider references made me feel very “out.”
            Nevertheless, I was captivated. I love the genre-defying work that’s happening. I love the gender-defying work as well – in the dancing, the fashion, the music. I love the defiant statements about body-image made by both Lizzo and Billy Eilish in their own unique ways. I love the new takes on old sounds (an Aerosmith-Run DMC collaboration). There is so much innovation and artistry going on. It makes me want to pay more attention.
            Music is not standing still. I’d like to go along for this ride.
