I'll second that. But I wonder... Do you suppose Annie did that because she knew she was going to lose out to a drag queen for (I think it was) Best New Group? John Denver certainly looked surprised. If so, I love it even more. Assuming my guess is right, you have spotted the only two acts with any credibility on the whole show - Herbie is a *STAR* with his robots. Now that's entertainment!!
