Grammys To Pay Tribute To New Orleans
New Orleans natives Allen Toussaint, Dr. John and Irma Thomas will be joined by Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello tomorrow night (Feb. as the Grammy Awards pay tribute to the hurricane ravaged city. The segment will also feature participation from Bonnie Raitt, U2 guitarist the Edge and soul music great Sam Moore.
"Our Academy represents thousands of music people across the country, many of whom were directly affected by the New Orleans tragedy," says Recording Academy president Neil Portnow, noting that the 48th annual ceremony "wouldn't be complete if we didn't take this unique opportunity to pay homage to a region with such rich musical history and culture."

Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.

I love seeing Elvis doing the Grammy's tributes (Joe Strummer a couple years ago and the New Orleans one this time around). But I'd love to see the tribute sans Bruuuce. Apologies to Springsteen fans, but I can't stand his music. Should be neat regardless. Perhaps we'll get a taste of the upcoming AT/EC album? I'm feeling either a "River in Reverse" or "Freedom for The Stallion" performance, likely mingled in with one or two other New Orleans-ish songs. But the reality is, I have no f'n clue what I'm talking about. I'll just look forward to seeing whatever our man has to offer tomorrow night.

Got to love 'The Night Tripper'! Great talent! He also worships AT and PLH.
I highly recommend Dr. John's book especially with EC linking up with AT.

Really great stuff on NO and the LA music scene (he really hates that place and I don't blame him!). Also talk about a TOUGH life. Heroin addict at 10 years old! Prison and on and on. I met him a while back and had him sign (very unique sig) my copy. I told him it was a great read. He said he wouldn't do it (meaning his life) over again and he was dead serious!

I hope the video clip will be available somewhere online afterwards, because I'm not sure I can bear to watch the Grammys anymore.
I gave up years ago.
A big DITTO to that.
I ALWAYS watch this and the Oscars. It's like watching an ant farm - you know what's going to happen, but there's such an orderly progression. A train wreck in slo-mo. Anyway, I don't watch any reality tv, so I bank all my soul-diminishing viewing for these two nights. And once in a while, interesting things happen.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

Fingers crossed.

A large group of artists, including Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, Irma Thomas and Elvis Costello participated in the finale, a tribute to New Orleans. They did "Yes We Can Can" and "In the Midnight Hour," with the latter also honoring the late Wilson Pickett. Unfortunately, it was cut short because the telecast went on too long.

Getting Ready to Rock The Grammys
The Grammy Awards tonight will include a musical tribute to New Orleans and Southern soul from a specially convened all-star supergroup.
Yesterday, as our exclusive backstage snaps show, Edge joined some of these legendary musicians to get in the groove for this special New Orleans moment.
Word is that those involved include local musicians Allen Toussaint, Irma Thomas and Dr John along with Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Sam Moore and Bonnie Raitt.
'Our Academy represents thousands of music people across the country, many of whom were directly affected by the New Orleans tragedy,' said Neil Portnow, President of The Recording Academy. 'Music's biggest night wouldn't be complete if we didn't take this unique opportunity to pay homage to a region with such rich musical history and culture.

keep hitting the next button (but you have to watch the commercials, sorry!) - he's last.
Somebody tell me, was Madonna really wearing capri-length support hose or was that just a trick of the light? I didn't notice it during the Gorillaz part, but once she started her orgy her legs looked WEIRD.

Allen Toussaint - Yes We Can Can
Now is the time
Now is the time for all good men
To get together with one another
Iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find a piece within
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Just remember you all have mothers
Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great, got your money
Yes we can, I know we can can
Take care of the children
The children of the world
They're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls
Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can

Yes we can, I know we can can
