Did you see Daft Punk w/o their helmets on and was John Mayer trying to crack jokes backstage?

I'm a PR guy. I don't want to get too specific as to exactly who/what I do PR for out of concern for my job, but usually when I'm at events I'm there in a public relations capacity. Sometimes I'm a guest of someone more important than me . But usually I'm there in a PR capacity.

My favorite moment of the show was probably the Rihanna/Time number. I don't know how well it translated on TV, but live it was AWESOME. Plus there was me and about a dozen other people backstage doing that zig-zag dance move going "oh we oh we oh" - too great.

My favorite moment you didn't see had to be Chaka Khan's manager having a nuclear hissy fit while we were trying to get her makeup artist credentialed to enter the media center. I've witnessed a lot of hissy fits over the past few years but holy frijoles this one was hilarious. I've seen people argue about human rights with less passion than this guy had for Chaka Khan's makeup.

The reaction to Herbie Hancock winning Album of the Year, by the way, was not unlike when I watched this year's Super Bowl in a born-and-raised-in-Boston household. Total shock and disbelief. Up to that point it was a foregone conclusion that Amy Winehouse would win.

I did not catch the Rihanna/Jay-Z thing. Interesting. If he's fucking her that's the first I've heard of it. I know she's devoted to him because he signed her and basically crafted her into who she is. She's very young too. I know that no one carries more weight than him when it comes to influence on her. But I don't think I've ever heard serious rumors about him stepping out on Beyonce. Doesn't mean he isn't, of course. But it's news to me. I'll keep an ear to the ground though.

with the Rihanna thing, i thought it seemed kinda rude how Jay-Z was trying to speak for her as she was sharing her moment with her father. and yeah, i've even seen stuff where it's alleged that he beats Beyonce! but you can't believe everything you hear.

and i thought Tina and Beyonce's duet/number must've been fab in person! soooo jealous. :P

And they're really well-liked within the music industry, especially Dave. Even people you wouldn't think of being "buddies" with the Foos because of different genres/personas (Fergie, Puffy and Faith Hill/Tim McGraw all come to mind) love 'em some Foos.

So she came backstage during the show to talk to press and get her portrait done, etc. I was humming "Tell Me Something Good" for about an hour after that.

Thankfully I ran out in time to see the Tina/Beyonce duet - I missed the solos. I mean, first of all "Proud Mary" is such an awesome song its already practically ridiculous. The way those two did it was electrifying.
