Grammys - Gorillaz?

[RadiDem]

I'm middle aged but still listen to Rock, Punk, a little Pop, but not much Rap or Hip Hop. I had a vague familiarity with the virtual band 'Gorillaz' - but really knew nothing about them. I wasn't impressed with them 'intruding' on Madonna's opening Grammy act. Out of curiosity, I looked the up on the www. Here's the first paragraph of their 'fictional history' from Wikipedia. I must admit I do like the perversity of this aspect of them ;-) LOL!

"Fictional band history

The backstory of the animated band members of Gorillaz, as established by Albarn and Hewlett.

The story of Gorillaz begins in 1997. Stu-Pot was a mentally deficient keyboard enthusiast and star employee at Uncle Norm's Organ Emporium. Satanist hoodlum Murdoc Niccals decided to ramraid Uncle Norm's Organ Emporium to procure synthesizer equipment in order to establish a "chart topping" musical group. However, Murdoc ended up driving his Vauxhall Astra through the building and directly into Stu-Pot, permanently damaging ("fracturing") Stu-Pot's left eye and putting him into a catatonic state. Murdoc was sentenced to "30,000 hours of community service, plus 10 hours every week of caring for the vegetabilised Stu-Pot". Not long after, Murdoc again injured Stu-Pot in an car accident in Nottingham's Tesco parking lot when attempting a 360°, which permanently damaged Stu-Pot's right eye, but revived him from his coma. Murdoc then recruited the newly recovered (albeit still mentally defective) Stu-Pot as the keyboardist and vocalist for his group, re-dubbing him 2D for the matching pair of dents in his head from the accidents."
