It should be noted, though, that grammies aren't awarded by a
governing body, but by votes from members of NARAS, which
means the artists, producers and others in the music and record
biz.....
Was great to see Joni up there, with her awkward yet endearing
attempts at humor....
Puzzling that they never mentioned her win....I mean they
mentioned Best Bolivian Polka Album and everthing else...
Here's my Grammy list:
Graified to see: Steely Dan's wins
male chauvinist pig favorite guilty pleasure: Destiny's Child
Biggest disappointment: No wins for Fiona Apple
Favorite grammy host to date: John Stewart
original quote: If Eminem is the Pat Boone of rap, Elton is the
Bing Crosby
Favorite cool dumb fun moment: Blue Man Group shooting
that silver mylar confetti stuff out of their PVC tubas
2nd FCDFM: Ray Romano and that other guy shooting the
t-shirt bazooka into the audience
Best singer: Christina Aguilera (but for gawdsakes, eat
something!)
