	I watched the Grammies last week.  

	"Why would you do such a stupid thing?" you ask.

	The answer: I was curious whether Peter Gabriel would show up,
and if he did, how he would deal with winning an award (which I thought would
happen, given that he was nominated in four different categories).

	As many of you know, he did indeed show up, although I would offer
the opinion that he didn't seem to be too happy with the situation (repeated
up-close shots of him showed him with his bowtie undone and a seemingly bored/
apprehensive/disgusted expression on his face).

	The Beastie Boys giving Robert Palmer a Grammy was a stroke of genius.
That and the Billy Idol number with his own ``groupies'' dancing around near
the stage in supposed awe of his presence reminded me that someone organising
that show MUST have a sense of humour.

	Comments?
