I agree with your summation of the rest. Tina is 72 and she rocked the house! Brian, sorry to be a downer, but their was no mute button for the 3/4 of the show live at Staples.

The ‘08 Grammy’s weren’t as good as ‘07. However, there were a few standouts - Alicia and Sinatra! Tina and Beyonce! Jimmy Jam and the Time with Rhianna! Vince Gill’s comment was the best. “I just got a Grammy from a Beatle, Kanye did you ever get that?” Other than that a bunch of either really old or really dead people. Kinda morbid. I’ll let you know more when I see the show on my DVR. Also, Amy Winehouse was GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! here’s Phil’s rather less-than-enthusiastic review once he got home . . .
