Right before double-ya, double-ya two

I’m half paying attention to the Grammy’s and I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Tina Turner is 71, y’all. And she was still strutting around that stage and belting it out like someone who, well, wasn’t 71. I’m not saying there wasn’t some obvious plastic surgery, but if I can haul my carcass off my Craftmatic adjustable bed (or futuristic equivalent) at that age, I’ll be happy.

Anyway, I’d embed a clip but they aren’t up yet. Here’s Feist’s My Moon, My Man, though.

Music snobby side notes:

• Kid Rock — who the hell do you think you are? Trashy redneck greaseball does not equal smokey jazz crooner. Hands off the ghost of Sammy Davis.
• Foo Fighters.  Winners of best rock album.  So beyond relevant.
• I can’t tell whether it was funny or sad that Jason Bateman explicitly stated the lameness of his hosting gig.
• It was strange looking at the heap of plastic, metal and feathers that used to be Cher.
• Don’t pay attention to Kanye, he won’t keep acting out.
