Rock out

And here we thought jammies were something we sat around in all day while "working."

Turns out they're actually a mashup of jam bands and the Grammys, which makes some kind of musical stew in which the Grateful Dead is almost always an ingredient and, curiously, Joan Osborne and Doug E Fresh can slip in as condiments.

Highlights of this week's 7th Annual Jammy Awards in New York included a lifetime achievement honor for Phish, whose members got on stage together for the first time in years...but didn't play. (More) confusion among the assembled patchouli-doused clove smokers ensued.

Chevy Chase took to the piano and gave a glimpse into his secret life by doing renditions of "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" and "Sweet Home Alabama" with Keller Williams (String Cheese Incident, Ratdog, and "one-man jam band"). Chase later accepted the Song of the Year award on Williams' behalf, saying, "I want to thank Clive Davis just because I feel like I should."

Trivia: Chase played in a band in college with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, who went on to decades-long Steely Dan fame (L.A. show this summer!).
