Very cool. Not to dismiss anyone up in the list, but isn't it weird to see TR among these names?

[botley]

Nah, that reads like the Most Played playlist on my iTunes.

He's shaved, so he's not writing any music right now.

[sheepdean]

No, shaving means no score work. No Coke Zero would mean not writing at all.

Wasn't he known for having a beard when he was in the studio writing ANY music? Well before he started doing scores?

Some video from the ceremony (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83MO01zS_mE)

Shaved as HTDA is done and now would be the time for promo photos, videos, possible performance etc.

And as a father I promise you, the little ones don't love facial hair :P

Funny coincidence that "You're so Vain"-Carly Simon of all people gets an award the same year as TR.

[thevoid99]

I wonder if the two chatted about how her song was used for "Starfuckers, Inc." since she did get some credit for the sample Trent used.

[sheepdean]

She also made Interscope/Nothing/Trent pay a lot for it, and offered a lot of resistance about the whole thing

[Harry Seaward]

Wow, that video was terribly sad. Terrible to see Trent in the same room with all of those people.

And why did Steven Tyler accept Carly Simon's award?

Ha,ha, that's a good one :D (I had similar thoughts)

[fillow]

More importantly, did Trent perform anything?




Or at least popped up with Fuck You at you-know-which moment of Carly's performance

[sweeterthan]

Carly Simon was hot once:

I want to see Trent's montage.

[allegro]

The progeny of Carly Simon and James Taylor (Ben Taylor) was up there performing with her. Carly Simon wrote about a bazillion hits. I thought Paul Williams was dead until I saw this.

I only see people who are musically done.
Not for Trent. He's not one of them.
Typical you hear HLAH and not some recent work. Golden oldies party. ;)
