i think Andy Williams made a brilliant host to this once glamorous and "conservative" event!

Wonder's performance was via satellite and they had been having trouble with it all night. While they were wrestling with the signal, Any Williams was on camera and was forced to ad-lib. He said "Stevie, can you hear me? If you can't hear me, can you see me?". I don't remember anyone booing, only scattered laughter. Later, he went back on-camera and apologized, stating that he meant the people in (wherever) and not Stevie, and that he meant no disrespect to him . He got applause .

Oh, I see....it either erases my comment, or else posts it 5 times. Perfect. Real cute.

As I said, does everyone have an empty head? I have one prevailing thought on this, and am stunned that not one person addressed it. All those great artists and songs, and the award goes to the only one I was sure didn't stand a chance....that bland, whitebread, soulless song and singer. I knew the world is upside down, but there is solid proof. Scary.

Good to see Eraserhead getting some pub

This must have been the year that Andy Williams committed the worst gaffe ever on an awards show. Stevie Wonder was in Africa but a live hook-up was provided so he could keep in touch with the proceedings. Somehow, the feed got garbled and Andy was wondering if there was any connection. He actually asked Stevie (I kid you not): "Stevie, can you see us?" Mr. Williams must have felt like crawling in a hole and dying. If anybody can provide the video for this, I'll be grateful.
