54^th Grammy Awards – Feb 12, 2012 – CBS Music has fragmented into so many sub-genres that the Grammys have recently become one trainwreck after another.  But, something was different on this night; an energy surrounding the event that hasn’t been there in a long time.  There was the question of whether heavily-favored Adele would be able to still sing following her throat operation.  The inclusion of so many legendary performers (Springsteen, McCartney, reunited Beach Boys, Glen Campbell) ensured that even those who had given up on new music would tune in.  And, the recent death of Whitney Houston, who had dominated these same awards, seemed to bring everyone together.
