For the longest time we thought it was just a rumor floating around the Internet thanks to rabid Morris Day fans, but the only reason not to spend Feb. 10 at the bar (or at least the only reason to remember to set the DVR before leaving for the bar) is finally, officially confirmed:
And in a special 50th anniversary moment, Rihanna will perform with the Time, which is reuniting for the occasion.
ZOMG. If this means a live version of “Don’t Stop The Music,” then it will totally make all of the agonizing pauses and flubbed transitions and cringeworthy ad libbing totally worth it. Okay, it won’t at all, but still: the Time!

Good god. Amazing.
(Dude who held the mirror for Morris better be there too.)
That would be Jerome, Ned. NEVER FORGET: “Wrecka Sto!”
@Matt Cibula: Damn, my memory is collapsing inward.
JELLYBEAN!!
i saw the time open for prince a few years ago. they were great. i have to say i am disappointed they are being teamed with a no-talent flash in the pan though.
Pandemonium!
“Somebody bring me a mirror!”
Chili sauce!
@harumph: Yeah, I agree that they’re great live. I was lucky to see them in a small club and wasn’t expecting much but boy did they put on an amazing show!
That shit is the mad notes.
Jay and Silent Bob approve.
I saw Prince in NJ in ‘04, and the Time were the unannounced opener. I literally shit my pants.
That’s F***in awesome. i love the time. Maybe they can throw Sheila E in for free.
@JohnDoe: hit albums that someone else writes for you do not equal talent.
just saying…
the time in that pic is not what we want — that is post jam and lewis! altho ice cream castles did have jungle love on it — classic time tune right there.
I saw that same show but it was in Atlanta. I’ve never seen so much energy come off of one band. The Time kicked ass. Oh yeah, Prince was awesome too ;)
It’s 777-9311 to infinity on Grammy night. I am so so so excited!!! Especially looking forward to seeing Jesse Johnson (who all but disappeared after a promising solo career in the 1980’s). Anybody remember this? Jesse Johnson Revue (ft. Sly Stone) - Crazay
Ok, so I digress, here’s what I wanna see –
The Time - “Jerk Out”
“I want to see some asses wigglin, I want some perfection!”
Fantastic!
are people STILL hating on Rihanna? Really? “No talent flash in the pan?” Dude - she’s already on her second hit album.
@dan13l: if Sheila showed up with her
glowing drumsticks it seriously would be the fiercest thing ever. not
that the time reuniting isn’t enough to make your heart flutter… are
they going to reunite the family soon?
I live my life by the teachings of Morris Day and Jerome
Reunited? They played a show in Atlanta two years ago or something. Anyway, this is rad news.
