I mean, it was just these crazy, these references are so funny, you know?

And I was like, well, on behalf of Boingo, I just want to say...

I was joking around a lot and they probably told me to shut up.

But what I remember very clearly is someone who was there in person was Tina Turner was hanging out at the rehearsal.

Yeah.

Wow.

And so I'm sitting there just wearing my little lanyard that says backstage goofball.

Robert Palmer was there.

Simply irresistible.

He was there.

The two of them were there.

I think they probably had a sound check, but they were just hanging out.

I remember they announced the category.

Again, they said, the winner for best song of 1988 is, and they opened the envelope and someone said, Tina Turner.

This person got up, I think a 62-year-old,

Very pale man stood up with crutches and went up on stage and said, I'm just really excited that I'm here to win this award.

And Tina Turner was there and she got really excited because she thought this means that she's going to win that night.

And I saw her manager have to go up to her and say, no, no, no, this is just for rehearsal.

And I remembered seeing someone's a huge icon of rock.

Dreams get crushed in that moment.
