Today's the day!

Be sure to tune into the 2014 Grammy's tonight, live from Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Paul and Ringo are both set to perform, though not explicitly together. But, I think that it is highly probable that the two living Beatles will take this chance to perform together for the first time in 5 years in honor of their incredible American tour, all those years ago. In case you didn't know, this is one of the biggest Beatles years in a long time. 50 years ago this February, The Beatles toured the eastern seaboard of the United States for two weeks. After "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was released, the boys were finally able to break through in America, initiating the second British Invasion to the US (the first, of course, being the literal British Invasion in the War of 1812). In honor of this feat and true moment in history, other artists at the Grammys will be paying tribute to The Beatles. The pain I will feel tonight cannot be emphasized enough. I live only about 45 minutes from downtown LA (without traffic, of course, but it makes it sound even worse when I exaggerate). The two living Beatles are going to be in one place at one time and I know where they are! NO. I can't.
