Grammy Results for Bruce

Here is my latest complaint about the Grammy Awards, and I will drop this subject (for another year)



If you didn't read the post I linked to the other day about the Grammy's and why they have nothing to do with true talent - you really should read it. It's FUNNY, its called "The 7 Most Unforgivable Grammy Award Snubs of All Time". I'd like to add this years snub to Bruce to the list.

Bruce one 3 out of 4 of the nominations he was up for.

Congrats, Bruce.

Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance - Radio Nowhere
Best Rock Instrumental Performance - Once Upon a Time in the West
Best Rock Song (songwriter's award) - Radio Nowhere

BUT...

I am bitter - not because of what he won but for what he was not even nominated for, he deserved to be considered in these categories and the dissed him. What a joke.

Bruce was not nominated in

Album of the Year

Song of the Year

Record of the Year

Why the Grammy's Suck

Ok, not a very eloquent title for a blog post, but hopefully it will attract your attention to THIS POST that is so funny, yet so true!

I found it via Isorski's Musings. If you have any doubt that the Grammy Awards are NOT about who's "the best", this guy's article will convince you.

Grammy Nominations Announced

From previous posts on the topic of Music award shows - I don't think too many of you who read here think too hightly of them. I don't either really but I do like to check out the "Rock" categories. I'd really like to see who wrote the definition of "Rock". Does anyone know who Lucinda Williams is? She's wearing a COWBOY hat, can she really be a rocker? Would I like her? At least Bruce is being recognized (and deserves to win, imo) in all three:
