  The 46th GRAMMYs will take place on Feb. 8 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. With a tribute to The Beatles and notable performances by The White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Outkast and George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic scheduled, this could be one of the more interesting Grammy's. And Beck will be presenting an award also!
