'I have kids as old as her.' By Jem Aswad, with reporting by James Montgomery and Shaheem Reid LOS ANGELES As the Grammy Awards progressed on Sunday night (February 10), one man was making headlines of his own backstage: the Time's Morris Day. The frontman/lothario, who duetted with Rihanna early in the show, said of the singer: "I think she's a sexy young lady. I have kids as old as her ... But I enjoyed it. That did not stop me from noticing." He had a less flattering although sympathetic comment about her onstage pouting: "When the groove hits you, you get ugly for a minute. It's like you broke wind. " Since the Time are noted for their cool ("Cool" is also the name of one of their best songs), he talked about how some of today's artists measure up. "I don't see Kanye as being cool very talented, but not cool." Chris Brown? "He's very hyper, but talented. Give him about 10 years and we'll see. There are some cool people out there. I think Snoop is cool. Puffy's cool. It's embodiment it's gotta be in you. I'm so cool that even when I'm sweating, it's a cold sweat." After noting how impressed he was with his own group's performance, Day continued: "I don't know if you were able to watch [our set] because you were too busy eating sandwiches and potato chips, but we had a good time," he told reporters with a laugh. "I still do the dance moves every day, I just happened to do it on the Grammy stage tonight." When asked if he spoke with longtime friend and foil Prince backstage, Day answered, "I asked him, 'How's the family?' ... He didn't say nothing." (Day and Prince are old friends and rivals Day split from Prince's camp not long after the blockbuster success of 1984's "Purple Rain," but reunited for 1990's "Graffiti Bridge" and the Time has opened for Prince at several shows in recent years.) Asked if he was going to kick it with Prince backstage, he replied: "Am I interested in kicking him backstage?" Day also said the Time have a new album done and plan to tour. "That was fun. Where's the sandwich boxes?" he said before leaving the media room. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe?
