Land of the lost.

'Fess up, you watched (some) of the Grammys. Me too. For some strange reason, I thought the much-hyped Sly tribute was going to be something special. (I know, I know, I know, shhhh.) Was there anything more depressing than Sly actually showing up and, uh, half-miming a keyboard solo for thirty seconds before departing?

Sigh.

I now present some of my favorite comments from the I Love Music gang re: the Sly & The Family Stone Tribute.

Does he have a hunchback? DOES HE HAVE A HUNCHBACK?

i loved the shots of steven tyler looking around to see whether he should be making any rawk noises or not.

Steve Tyler did say "Sly, let's do it like we used to do it" ... he was obviously talking about leaving the stage to go snort some coke.

He looked to me like one those Land of the Lost Chaka people had started interbreeding with the Sleestaks.
