What Yoko did there ain't art. Subjectivity my @$$! That ain't art. That's a person in desperate need of attention. Real musicians were making real music, and she just had to throw in her selfish, self-indulgent caterwauling. It truly makes me angry to see and hear that. If she insisted on doing that kind of thing, she should have confined it to her own shows.
It's like if someone was working on a beautiful marble sculpture, and I took a sledgehammer to it and called it "art." If you defend everything as "subjective," you end up cheapening everything. Some things actually are great, and some things actually are crap.
Frank Zappa said to Lennon, "John, love is blind, not deaf!".
There is PBS Roy Orbison special where lots of stars are playing in his band. I took great pleasure in seeing Springsteen playing BACKUP to Roy Orbison .

I just watched one of the clips from last night - no Abe Laboriel, Jr. I hope all is OK with he and his family.

Exactly my thought too.I just watched one of the clips from last night - no Abe Laboriel, Jr. I hope all is OK with he and his family.
Although I haven't seen any official word, in reviewing individual clips I did see that Chad Smith appeared with Will Farrell in the opening monologue.
My guess is that Chad asked Abe Jr. if he could play with Paul since he was going to be there anyway, and that both Abe and Paul approved. Heck, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Abe was there in the audience showing his support.
I hope so... Did you notice the "A" with a heart around it on the drum head? I got the impression that may have been some sort of sympathy message to him. Abe has been a fixture with Paul since the early 1990's! I almost look as forward to seeing him as I do Paul. He is such a massive drummer.Although I haven't seen any official word, in reviewing individual clips I did see that Chad Smith appeared with Will Farrell in the opening monologue.
