Tina Turner Netherlands Lunch, Tiny Turner Gaffe
Adam Curry recounts a 1984 lunch in the Netherlands where a Dutch record retailer repeatedly referred to Tina Turner as "Tiny Turner." He describes Turner's professional poise during the awkward encounter and her enthusiastic reaction when the food arrived.
Grammy Awards Category Changes, Beyonce Country Music
The Recording Academy announced new categories and rule changes for the 2026 Grammy Awards, including an expansion of the Best New Artist criteria. The existing Best Country Album category has been split into "Traditional" and "Contemporary" lanes, a move seen as a response to Beyonce's success with her country-themed album. The hosts compare these changes to historical instances of "finessing" awards to ensure celebrity appearances and boost flagging ratings.
Adam Curry reacts to the death of former record executive Polly Anthony, who passed away from pancreatic cancer at age 59. Her inclusion in the Grammy "In Memoriam" segment serves as a personal shock to Curry, who recalls her professional influence in the New York radio scene. The hosts criticize the production of the segment for displaying three names per frame, making it difficult for viewers to read.
