   Dude, what do you mean it's a bullshit award these days?? It ALWAYS was a   
   bullshit award!! 8)   
      
   Fountains Of Wayne winning "Best New Artist" last year? Okay, then why was I   
   playing the hell out of them on the radio in 1997?   
      
   Jethro Tull winning a heavy metal award?? Unless Ian Anderson's flute was   
   particularly weighty, what a crock! For God's sake, just the fact that they   
   have a FLUTE rules out the heavy metalness!!!   
      
   Regardless, though, the Grammies are huge...bogus, but huge. The fact is   
   Brian is getting mainstream recognition from his peers.
