Mariah Carey's secret grunge album part of tribute at MusiCares event

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mariah Carey has blended pop, R&B, gospel and hip-hop into hit songs over five decades. But it was hearing a couple of cuts off her 1990s secret grunge album that had the superstar on her feet clapping.

How about parquet in an indoor hall? Snow volleyball is ready and waiting.

Those and other sports on the far fringes of joining the Summer Games, such as flying disk, see a possible path to the less densely packed Winter Games schedule, even as winter sports federations push back.
