Looking forward to the Grammy Awards tonight!
Here’s an interesting mashup that shows why Tom Petty is now co-credited (and receiving royalties) for writing nominee Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.”

Good Morning Gloucester 
Sorry Kim never looked for the Grammy’s. Didn’t know they were on last night. To many people saying how great they are. Lot’s of bad music nowadays! Just my opinion of course.

There were some real highs, and some real low moments too. Ed Sheeran w/ John Mayer and Herbie Hancock; Sam Smith with MJ Blige; Hozier with Annie Lennox; Pharrell’s Happy with “hand’s up don’t shoot” motions; Beck and Chris Martin; and Miranda Lambert’s rockin “Little Red Wagon” were outstanding. The low points–Madonna, Beyonce, Katy Perry, and Kanye, to name only a few.
Try listening to the radio station the River–I hear tons of great new music on that station.

Boy I was mad. Smith steels a song from Petty and he wins. Well Tom gets credits for co-credited (and receiving royalties. Still tom should have gotten it. Hard core Tom Petty fan. Oh Ya.

There are several great songs on Sam Smith’s album, In the Lonely Hour, not just “Stay With Me.” I think these kinds of songwriting mistakes oftentimes happen honestly. Petty and Smith agreed out of court and it was an amicable settlement. Listen to “I’m Not the Only One,”–beautiful!

I think Smith at least could have thanked, Tom. Oh well. I will listen to, I’m Not the Only One.

Im not aware of what Pharrell did, but I agree 100 percent with you about Kanye. Tom thinks he should be banned from award shows!!
