   Sure, recognition - even from the Grammys - would be nice for Brian.   
   But really, the Grammys are so totally "Fixed" these days, and have   
   more to do with industry power-weilding than about the recognition of   
   quality. A Lifetime Achievement Award would be worth more, I think,   
   than a "Best Record".   
      
   When Joni Mitchell got her Grammy a few years ago, it was for one of   
   her WORST lp's ever! I thought, "What the hell??!" The Grammyu is just   
   such a sham of an award!
