I love the way they had the Awards logo in the shape of a guitar pick. I've had one or more since 1971.

I didn’t watch the banquet this year…It was the principle of the idea of making you sign up for Peacock…I do not like NBC and NASCAR is in bed with them..Thankfully we have FOX…There we’re a lot of people who think the same way …WAKE UP NASCAR…There is a lot of it on YouTube…I did feel sad for Ty Gibbs, but he did well, having gone through what he did..Joey Logano did very well too!!..

Annalee, I hope you still have power! I read that some crazies or terrorists had shot-up power stations in NC. They say some power may not be restored until Thursday and it's freaking cold! I hope and pray that this is an isolated incident...don't want to see copycat incidents here or anywhere.

We still have power..But I am like you….This is scary…They took out power plants with a rifle …. :s_omg…It was east of Charlotte and took out an entire county….So with all these illegals coming across the border and it only takes a rifle to destroy our grid…NOT GOOD..We have a Generac so we are safe, but this was a test…

yeah, there was something years back when you take out the right or wrong substation and it could cause a massive chain reaction that could cause wide spread power outages in massive parts of the country.

Supposedly, if you take out three key stations at the same time in three parts of the country at the same time, you can wipe out power to most of the country. I am not sure how true that is. Except for the North East it would not be affected by this because then you have to wipe out what is coming out of Canada as well at the same time and shut down the Canadian Power Grid as well, they would have to figure out a way of shutting this down as well.

They have called in the FBI …Not sure if I should be happy about that, knowing what I know about them in the past couple years..They remind me of a dog chasing it’s tail…One rumor is that they are trying to link this with Jan 6….God help us..Wake up…Who ever did this, knew exactly how to take the power grid down in a minute and how to destroy the biggest working parts…They might want to look at China, Iran or Russia…This is why we have a Generac…They are now saying Saturday before they get things up ad running…They also said New England’s power grid is vicarious at best…Looking for rolling brown outs… :s_omg It old and was not built to provide power to the growing population…

One of my favorite Neil stories was when the Original members of the Monkees were led down a hallway by their agent and sitting in that room was Neil Diamond! He Played a song called "I'm A Believer ". The Monkees took heed and

The rest is history."
