Grammy Awards will deliver music with messages

The times are always a-changin' in pop music, and the world around it. And the people who bring you the Grammy Awards say that Sunday's ceremony will reflect those dynamics.
"A fair amount of social commentary" will be incorporated into the performances, says Neil Portnow, president and CEO of the Recording Academy, which stages the event (CBS, live at 8 p.m. ET/tape-delay PT). "Different writers and artists have different points of view about issues and concerns. We like to elevate those thoughts and put them in context. ... It's appropriate for the Recording Academy to put a spotlight on what artists are thinking."
