- <p> Someday when social historians dissect America circa 1993, they
- may wonder why a country that wouldn't stop thinking about tomorrow
- couldn't stop reveling over yesterday's rock.The 35th annual
- Grammy Awards, as it turned out, were a day of deification for
- ERIC CLAPTON, who surely burned a cheeseburger's worth of calories
- trotting between his seat and the Grammy stage to collect no
- fewer than six statuettes. Two went to his album Unplugged,
- three went to the track Tears in Heaven, and a sixth--for
- best rock song--went to Layla, a tune older than Chelsea Clinton
- by eight years. Even Eric seemed perplexed by the admiration
- overload. "I don't think I deserve to win this year," he said
- after receiving one of the Tears awards. "There are better songs.
- Thanks anyway." Surprisingly enough, there were a handful of
- notable Clapton-free moments. ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, the chart-topping
- proponents of pensive rap, grabbed two Grammys. And the now
- ubiquitous MICHAEL JACKSON proved that despite disconcertingly
- visible similarities, he and BROOKE SHIELDS aren't the same
- person. The two were hip-locked throughout the fun.
