Music on TV

[RGMike]

Most amusing moment for me, Grammy-wise was AL gushing about Muse on FB... when KFOG doesn't actuallly, y'know, play them.

THIS may have been the Grammy moment (knowing that she's supposedly alright now); an L.A. TV news reporter last night at the Grammys got tongue-tied on-air, rambled incoherently. Article includes video clip:

I saw this on your FB page.  It's weird how she's rambling on, like maybe she's verbally drunk but still has complete motor control.  The paramedics checked her vitals last night and she got a ride home that night from a friend, but I see she was admitted to a hospital today. No word on whether they found anything amiss.  Hope she's ok.
“I am a little surprised (they didn't admit her last night),” Dr. John Krakauer, associate professor of neurology and neuroscience at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, told CBS News. “Frankly, I would have admitted her.”
Dr. Krakauer, who is not involved in Branson’s care, said that Branson might have suffered a transient ischemic attack (TIA), a sort of “mini-stroke” that causes only transient problems. Some patients who are seen at a hospital for a TIA are allowed to go home without being admitted, he said.
He said it was also possible that Branson had suffered a seizure or experienced a rare condition associated with migraine headaches.

Perhaps it was more serious than when first reported.  Initially it seemed to be a case of nerves, but if neurological, then of course we hope she gets proper diagnosis and care.

I'm no neurosurgeon, but this doesn't look good.  I'm surprised the videos are still being shown.

A FB-friend of mine, a former ABC co-worker who is a trained nurse AND a TV news anchor (!) called it immediately -- "don't mock this woman, it looks to me like there's a neurological problem here"  -- and I guess he was right.

Is the kind of stuff she was doing par for the course in current pop culture?

In a word: Yes.  Be thankful that neither Ke$ha nor Nicki Minaj performed.

hee hee.

BTW, latest song to annoy me on 92.7 The Rev is that "ah'd jump in front of a train fo' ya" thing -- turns out its the celebrated Bruno Mars. 

OTOH, I heard a balllad that struck me as pretty decent, something that included the line "you're gonna catch a cold from the ice in your heart", or somesuch.

Ke$ha was on the Dick Clark NYE show and she and her stage back-up minions did some silly thing with a rabbit piñata.  She was pretty bad, didn't sound good.  Ryan Seacrest back-announced it by saying "....THAT was interesting.  Now sure why they hate the Easter Bunny."  I was ROTFLOL'ing.

Nicki Minaj was on SNL a couple weeks back.  She is built!

I think that's Christina Perri's "Jar of Hearts" - did I not send you my Best of 2010 mix?
