Reunited Beach Boys to appear on Grammys -- but don't get too excited

The Beach Boys are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. Long-estranged  group leader Brian Wilson is even along for the ride. So this is is a pretty big deal.

So why do the Horrible Idea People at the Grammy Awards insist on messing up an opportunity to feature the reconstituted group at its ceremony this weekend by tacking on inexplicable guest appearances?

Let alone guest appearances like this:

The Beach Boys' 50th anniversary reunion is set to begin this weekend at the Grammy Awards with a performance featuring guest appearances by Maroon 5 and Foster the People. The surviving members of the band's classic lineup – Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks – will make their first appearance on stage together in more than 20 years.

It's unclear exactly what Maroon 5 and Foster the People will be doing onstage with the Beach Boys, though it seems likely that their own hits will be included as part of a medley. So yes, there's a good shot that the first Beach Boys set in over two decades will include renditions of "Pumped Up Kicks" and "Moves Like Jagger."

This (will) sound(s) dreadful. How do Maroon 5 and Foster the People come to mind when you think "Beach Boys"?

The Grammys hate music.
