SONY GRAMMY PICS: WHAT DID THEY KNOW, AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT?

During Sony's gorgeous Grammy get-together at the Hotel Bel-Air, RCA chieftains Peter Edge and Tom Corson and the label's Keith Naftaly pause to pose with trophy-winning troupe Pentatonix and manager Jonathan Kalter. The latter's overtures to the Kremlin were not discussed.

"What did I know? Everything," confides SonyMusic ruler Doug Morris to Epic head L.A. Reid. "When did I know it? Always. But as far as you're concerned, that trip to Crimea was to sign a country band, capisce?"

Columbia overlord Rob Stringer assures artist Rachel Platten that, with the President involved in a Nixonian scandal, bell bottoms are sure to be coming back.

Columbia's Joel Klaiman asks radio producer Gary Dell'Abate and SiriusXM's Howard Stern Show Executive Producer Radio Ross Zapin to turn off all recording devices, then produces the Moscow microfilm.

Sony's Mel Lewinter briefs RCA rulers Peter Edge and Tom Corson and artist Becky G on what they knew and when they knew it, though whether Sean Spicer was going to be able to keep it all straight was another matter entirely.

"Hey, you guys," Columbia's Mark Williams says to John Mayer and the label's Joel Klaiman, "I think the NSA just uploaded 6,000 polaroids of Trump at Studio 54. They might be a little miffed."
