CMAs Are D.O.A. in NYC Late at Night

I don't know how the Country Music Awards did in ratings, but the parties after the show on Sunday night were dreadful affairs.

Nearly 3,000 people got free tickets for an "exclusive" soiree at Marquee on Tenth Avenue. We skipped that one.

Over at the Gotham Hall near Macy's, Sony BMG put Kenny Chesney and the Van Zant brothers in a private room so no one could see them, then stocked the main hall with a couple hundred people I have never seen before in my life. It was not exactly A-list.

The worry about Chesney, of course, was that someone might ask him about Renée Zellweger. Gretchen Wilson was also at this shindig, but the girl running the door of the VIP area was so clueless she didn't know what was what.

Down at a new club called Duvet, which used to be the legendary Tramps, at least some celebs showed up for Universal's hoedown.

Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora dropped by, and Kid Rock also did the rounds.

Inside the club, Lee Ann Womack danced up a frenzy, jumping from vinyl couch to vinyl couch. George Strait , who as it turns out, is quite short, hid in a corner protected by some loutish Nashville music execs. Yee-hah!

Standing outside of Duvet, though, was Mac Rebennack, aka Dr. John. Yes, you can joke that he was in the right place at the wrong time, but wearing his beret, Dr. John looked great.

We talked about his hometown of New Orleans and the several recordings he's made recently, which are about to be released. He was resplendent in a kind of three-piece suit with a red vest.

But there's a reason there's no country station in New York: This is not country country.

I felt kind of bad for the people who were shipped in. They looked like they could have been anywhere, and wanted to be someplace else. Like Vegas. Or Nashville.
