If you want to boycott the Oscars but still watch 2 hours of celebrity back patting, horrible music revues, and Ford car commercials, tune into youtube for the Rolling Stone Magazine 10th anniversary special from 1977!

What you can expect to see:

claymation Jimmy Carter

Magical Mystery Tour with jazz hands

All singing-all dancing Helter Skelter with dancing Jimi Hendrix and Patty Hearsts.

Rubber masked Nixon and Kissinger ‘singing’ Back In The USSR

A rubber masked Carter impersonator singing Mother Nature’s Son

The Teri Garr/Steve Martin ‘scholarly’ look at the 60s seems as true as ever

The Coasters sing a song with Heavy Metal-ish animation

Duet between Jerry Lee Lewis and Bette Midler

Lou Rawls for Budweiser

Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen on the Viet Nam war

Two hours of my life I’ll never get back

Peter Graves for Natty Light

Keith Moon discusses trashing hotel rooms

A glam and glitter version of Life In The Fast Lane...

Pioneer high fidelity electronics (and Burgess Meridith) celebrate drum solos...

Capped off by a lengthy concert from Gladys Knight & The Pips, capped off with Art Garfunkel joining to sing A Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Youse guys can have your Oscars (named for a body part of Betty Davis' first husband) (no, really), I'll wait for my Banjo & Accordion Hall of Fame Extravaganza, and I'll certainly be sure to post a thread when that happens.
