The Grammy Awards are so utterly lame. Who cares about who wins?
They awarded the Best Vocal Performance to Milli Vanilli, a vocal group that couldn't even sing. A how about that unforgettable moment when Jethro Tull won the Grammy for Best Heavy Metal Performance? Lenny Kravitz has won the best male rock performance more times than any other rock singer in history... huh???
Bob Dylan never won a single Grammy award until 1979 when he was 10 years past his prime as a writer and performer.
Elvis Costello has never won a single Grammy for any of his solo albums or his work with the Attractions. Costello's only Grammy win ( only nominated twice in 35 years!) was for a song he collaborated with Burt Bacahrach on from Painted From Memory. I'll bet you can even name the song.
WTF! Do all of those industry types on the nominating committee even bother to listen to performers they nominate?
