At least U-2 is worthy of recognition, even if a tad late. I still remember a Grammy broadcast when people like Bruce, U-2, The Police, The Clash, etc. were making music, and the big Grammy winner was Kenny Loggins for Footloose.

It's always a couple artists that take home most the awards. All political. Not saying the people that one are not great... just there are other greatnesses out there too...<BR/>and what was up with the Kanye/ Jamie Foxx act... that was absurd... they took a catchy radio friendly song and made it... absoultely awkwardmommy zabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10867526867356840793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1139512997956535902006-02-09T14:23:00.000-05:002006-02-09T14:23:00.000-05:00I am SO counting the days until July 5, 2006.I am SO counting the days until July 5, 2006.John McCollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757876504958350010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1139508312911306182006-02-09T13:05:00.000-05:002006-02-09T13:05:00.000-05:00Mike, sure, U2 deserved the awards, and I'm glad t...Mike, sure, U2 deserved the awards, and I'm glad they won.<BR/><BR/>But I don't know why the Grammys can't get it right and reward the albums at the appropriate times. For U2, that would have been last year's ceremony, February of 2005. Music magazines seem able to handle albums that are released late in the year in their annual "Best of" lists. It can't be that tough. And it seemed odd to be celebrating an album that is now well over a year old.Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1139507913447221952006-02-09T12:58:00.000-05:002006-02-09T12:58:00.000-05:00What does it say about an annual awards show that ...<I>What does it say about an annual awards show that bestows five little phonograph statues on an album released two calendar years before the ceremony?
