It also explains his luke warm applause from the audience for his performance at the Grammy's. He needs to get himself to a rehab center. Jennifer was awesome on the Grammy Awards. pj, I couldn’t have said it better, but I will add that Kid Rock was probably stoned when he made the remark.

Not sure if it's temporary, but it affects all the Sony-signed idols--DC, DA, Carrie, Kelly, Jordin, Daughtry, etc. AOL Sessions are still up, just no music videos. Weird.
