The most famous person I know I went to college with is former Rep. Harold Ford, Jr., although there was a thing in the alumni magazine recently about the producer of all the really bad VH1 reality shows.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, hi! Hi, Prince!!
(I didn't go to high school or college with Prince; he's just on my TV.)

I went to college with some state legislators, but that's as good as I can do. Well, I guess some famous people went to my grad school, but I never saw any of them or paid any attention to who they might be.
My most ridiculously talented classmate
We had one of these who went to a great performing arts colleges after high school, but from what I've heard, I think that the adjustment to the wide world away from home was too much. I think part of it was that expectations were so high, too. She had the most amazing voice and could act like woah.

Violent Femmes, Arrested Development lead singer (Todd Thomas) - I think that's all I got. Todd I actually knew, at least to say hi to.

I feel like I should have someone famous. I don't think I do, though.
Meanwhile, The Time and Rhiannon (sp?) just did a fun little number. They were having fun. I love it when you can tell that.
Hey, Yoko's wearing a cream, satin top hat. V. cute.

As I think I've mentioned before, I worked on the campus newspaper with John Bloom, aka Joe Bob Briggs. I also went to school with Atlanta's former mayor and CFO, both of whom were indicted for bribery and fraud. I was a reporter at Nashville's afternoon newspaper when Al Gore was at the morning newspaper, but that just means we nodded at each other in the hall in the afternoon.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The graphic for awards given out earlier in the night is almost illegible on my screen, I can barely read what awards they are posting. I love award shows, but the Grammy's is one of my least favorites:
I want more awards given out and fewer weird performances and montages things - or at least more time given to the earlier awarded Grammy's.

I knew Tift Merritt in high school, but I don't think she's up for a Grammy or anything. I was good friends with Sarah Jones, who won a Tony last year, in college.

I know someone who's won multiple Grammys! For liner notes.
