I'm sorry, what committee are you referring to? The senate music censorship committee? I just truly don't understand what Gore has to do with the Grammys anyway. I know he was nominated for a documentary Oscar and there were several movie stars presenting Oscars including Samuel L. Jackson (?), but what were Gore and the Grammy people hoping to accomplish by having him present a Grammy? And for best rock album no less?
