Summary: Los Angeles Times entertainment reporter Geoff Boucher (https://twitter.com/#!/geoffboucher) was on assignment at the Grammy Awards when he heard about the the sudden death of pop star Whitney Houston over the weekend. While still covering music's biggest night, Boucher was given two hours to write Houston's obituary for the Sunday paper. At the same time, David Wild (https://twitter.com/#!/wildaboutmusic) was backstage at the Grammys putting the finishing touches on his script for the telecast. A contributing editor at Rolling Stone and best-selling author, Wild had less than 24-hours to work with Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich and revise the awards in the wake of Houston's passing. After an exhausting weekend Boucher and Wild join us to discuss how this year's Grammys focused on two voices; one looking to the future with Adele winning six awards and one honoring the past by mourning the fresh tragedy of Houston's death. A whopping 40 million people watched this year's Grammys telecast, though if we were to believe Nielsen few of them were under the age of 24. Brian Stelter (https://twitter.com/#!/brianstelter) of the New York Times stops by to explain why young people are watching television less often. Of course we also cover the week's top entertainment headlines, including movie tickets reaching an all time high, the Simpson's being banned in Iran and Lady Gaga's new social network.
