#WhatsHappening for January 29, 2020

Can you believe we're about to start the second month of the year already? Ridiculous.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
I didn't watch 'em, but all I heard about Monday was how terrible Aerosmith sounded during their Grammy performance.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
Hot off winning the "big four" at the Grammys Sunday, Billie Eilish has been tapped to give a "special performance" at this year's Academy Awards show.

Earlier this month, it was confirmed would be doing the theme song for the upcoming James Bond movie, No Time to Die, becoming the youngest performer in the franchise's history to write and record a theme song.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
I continue to be underwhelmed by the Super Bowl, but I haven't really been much of a football fan in years- though I did watch a few of the playoff games this years (though not any of them that the bloviating asshat known Joe Buck was involved in). Anyway, you can catch Pitbull, Dan + Shay, DJ Khaled, and Yolanda Adams during the pregame show Sunday.
For those of you who plan on watching the game, Demi Lovato will sing the national anthem, while Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will headline the halftime show.
Personally, I can tell you the TV at the karaoke compound will be tuned to How It's Made during the day and the Adult Swim lineup on Cartoon Network that night.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
This cracked me up.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
I was somewhat tempted to at least watch the Grammy tribute to Prince, but there was no way I was going to sit through the rest of the show just to only care about five minutes of it. I'll wait for the special they taped Tuesday night (that will include the Revolution) to air in April.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
It's evidently a big deal that My Chemical Romance is going on tour. Apparently, they'd broken up or something and this is a reunion tour.
I am so unhip.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
The Simpsons may have been around for 30 years now, but Days of Our Lives was just renewed for season 56.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
Did you know there's a musical version of Mrs. Doubtfire debuting on Broadway in March? Now you do.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
Mick Fleetwood says Lindsey Buckingham won't be reuniting with Fleetwood Mac. Ever.
"Fleetwood Mac is a strange creature," he told NME. "We’re very, very committed to Neil and Mike, and that passed away a time ago, when Lindsey left. And it’s not a point of conversation, so I have to say no."
Still, it seemed Fleetwood wanted to smooth over some of the hard feelings that may have been left after the Buckingham's firing, saying "(Lindsey's) legacy is alive and well, and as it should be. A major, major part that will never be taken away, and never be down-spoken by any of us. Neil and Mike have tremendous respect for Lindsey. The situation was no secret. We were not happy. It was not working, and we parted company. And that really is the all of it."

#WhatsHappening for January 21, 2020


Happy Tuesday, friends. Hope you're all keeping bundled up (or live somewhere you don't need to).
