Delayed viewing of the ACM's

Along with all the Eastery festivities my plans for the weekend include watching (a taped version) of the annual 44th ACM Awards. Anything of any importance I record, as I do have a tendency of letting shows watch me rather than me watching the shows. Remember the days of planning your life around the airing of the Wizard Of Oz? It was only televised once a year so if you wanted to watch it you better clear that evening as it was a one shot deal. Or the excitement we felt as we marked the calendar when Rudolph, The Grinch, Frosty The Snowman or A Charlie Brown Christmas was to be televised (maybe I was the only one that did this). Nope, no video recorders or TiVo ... new technology is turning us into slackers, just tape it and watch it at our convenience. No pre-planning or anticipation ... I will be back on Monday to give my thoughts on the ACM's - as I am more than glad to share my opinions ... it may take all weekend to catch the entire show :)
