TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, February 17, 2016
Greetings Infomaniacs,
Did anyone watch the Grammy Awards on Monday night? Was it just me, or did the majority of the show seemed to consist of tributes? It is sad that we have lost so many talented artists recently, but I felt like there was hardly any original music. In any case, here are some interesting facts about the music awards show...
Enjoy!
