The Time + Rihanna = Jungle Umbrella Love? – Watch the Grammys
Here’s a newsworthy item for a Prince geek like me… According to this Billboard article, Rihanna will be joined by none other than the Time for a performance at next weekend’s Grammys.
I’ll be adding my sometimes snide, sometimes cynical, but honest commentary all night in year 2 of my live blogging of the Grammys. Believe me, it works better than barking mean-spirited comments to my wife all night!
There should be some blog-worthy moments, especially if Amy Winehouse shows up. They tried to make her go to rehab and she said Yes Yes Yes – this time around. But she’s expected to be there for the ceremony.
Here’s Morris, Terry, Jimmy, Jesse and the boys throwin’ down on American Bandstand back in ’82-’83 with “777-9311” (quality = shiteous, but fun nonetheless):

Hands down one of the FUNKIEST bass lines ever. The word I heard was “reunited’ Time… and that says what?

Gotta be Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis rejoining for a one off, wouldn’t ya think?
Next logical step? Prince brings the original members of the Revolution together for a Time / Revolution Reunion Tour, of course.
Or is Prince still happy with his dead web site, which has been dark now for more than a month?

HMMM? I wonder if Jesse Johnson is going to join them also?? I would be really awesome just to see the original lineup.
JESSE!! NOW JEROME!!! YEEESSS!!! : )

Well now that could be interesting. I’m not too big on the Rihanna record, but I do like “Umbrella.” And if Jam and Lewis are there, well…too funky!
