THE GRAMMYS— A Rock 'n' Roll Extravaganza!

Everyone knows that the awards known as Grammy (which takes its name from Annie Hall’s grandmother) is the time that the record industry gets together to honor its own. Rock music has been playing a bigger role in the awards these last several years, and this year was no exception with Prince performing live, and such presenters as Ray Davies, Dee Snider, Cyndi Lauper and that great American patriot, Sammy Hagar.
