The red carpet show was tacky. Jay Mohr again? Apparently he knows where the bodies are buried and we have to suffer for it.

Sting opened the show. Nice. For me, the jury is still out on the song, but it makes me want to hear the recorded version. Very enjoyable performance. Continue reading “2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Awards”
