Have you listened to Alicia Keys' album? It's really quite something. She's very very talented. She wrote the whole thing, arranged it, recorded it herself, plays piano, sings, and she's beautiful too (and I'm a fag!) When I first bought it it wasn't quite my usual Joni, Shawn Colvin, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris type of thing but I've been won over....Give it a listen. She's a huge cut above most of the dreck that's out there.
As for Dylan, he's looked like a stuffed wax dummy of himself for 20 years. :-) On Thursday, February 28, 2002, at 09:00 AM, blonde in the bleachers wrote: > Is it just my imagination or do the Grammy's get worse every year?
