Same for Whitney Houston. If there wasn't some famous person whacked out of their mind we wouldn't have all those YouTube clips and "Access Hollywood" and "TMZ" soundbites to keep the 'Grammys Ship' floating for a few extra days.

Neil looked like he had one too many facelifts and was cruising on a serious cocktail of meds. But there was still more talent there than a dozen L'il Waynes or Katy Perics (sp?), and for that I have a certain respect. I mean frigging BB King could barely hold his guitar, but I'd rather watch him standing still than some of the junk they had on last night. Best voice of the evening was Sugarland in my view.
