The following video is from last years Grammys, the barf, gag, flip the channel, check again, curse, flip the channel night of nights for the elite of the shitpile that is mainstream popular music. Yes, there is always a gem or 2 amidst all the high rollers enjoying their 15 minutes of fame, but they are hard to find. This is one of those gems that keep me flicking back year after year in the hope I will see another. I saw Melissa Etheridge first do her Janis medley at Woodstock 94'...the peace,love,dove 90s rendition of the 69' classic...not the burn and pillage rendition. It smoked then and it smokes now. Nobody I have ever seen can as closely and honourably recreate the passion that Janis gave. Josh Stone is thrown in for good measure and does a decent job opening the tribute and backing Melissa...a little unnecessary...but she is nice to look at:-)
