I don't watch awards shows much, but I tuned in for a minute to the Grammys last night. I dialed in just as they started the tsunami relief performance (you could download the song immediately from iTunes and CBS with the proceeds going to benefit the survivors).
It seemed promising. The song, The Beatles' All Across The Universe, featured Velvet Revolver, Stevie Wonder, Norah Jones, Bono, Alicia Keys, Alison Krauss, Tim McGraw, Steven Tyler, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, soul great Al Green and Brian Wilson. It was execrable; aren't all these superstar benefit assemblages? They might even be able to bring in more money for the cause by promising not to play another tune. . .
