REMBERT EXPLAINS

Rembert Explains the '80s: The 1985 American Music Awards

By Rembert Browne at

Welcome back to our series Rembert Explains the '80s. Every so often, we'll e-mail 25-year-old Rembert Browne a video from the 1980s that he hasn't seen. Rembert will write down his thoughts as he's watching it, then we'll post those thoughts here. This week's installment was selected by Grantland editor-in-chief Bill Simmons: a portion of the 1985 American Music Awards. If you have an idea for a future episode of Rembert Explains the '80s, e-mail us at hollywood@grantland.com.

Simmons's note: I'm demanding a breakdown of this clip please …

Rembert's note: I've got no choice, he followed "demand" with "please." So kind.
