Grammys

Over the years the Grammys had some odd collaborations. Here is one in 2005 that had the odd collaboration of Joss Stone and Melissa Etheridge.

Grammys

Here is a great tribute to the Clash by Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, Dave Grohl and Elvis Costello the the Grammys in 2003.

Grammys

Since the Grammys are going to be on this Sunday I thought it would be fun to show some classic clips from previous Grammy shows.  Here is a clip from 1998 when Bob Dylan was singing 'Love Sick' and the guy with 'Soy Bomb' painted on his chest started dancing.  Bob did not even break stride and kept singing. It took security a little while before they realized the guy was not part of the act.

Under the Covers

Here are a few covers of a 'Use Me' by Bill Withers.

Conan's Last Show

Here is Conan's last speech on his last 'Tonight Show'.  I thought he showed a lot of class.

Tom Hanks was a guest on the show.

Neil Young was the musical guest on the last show.

Will Ferrell along with an all-star band of Conan on lead guitar with Ben Harper, Billy Gibbons and Beck.  Will sang 'Freebird' and took time out to make out with his very pregnant wife during the guitar solos.

After watching the Vikings beat the Cowboys last weekend, Prince was inspired to write a song for his hometown Vikings.  The song is called 'Purple and Gold'.

Maybe NBC should have let Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien solve who gets the Tonight Show via an old fashioned street fight.
