   Okay, I agree that it may lead to Brian getting a new listeners, and   
   that is a good thing. But "recognition from his peers" it isn't. He   
   already has recognition from his peers. The Grammys are just   
   recognition from greedy businessmen who decide what they want to push,   
   or who they're going to throw a bone to... It's bullshit, and always   
   has been.   
      
   By the way, we know the Oscars are nominated by members of the Academy   
   which is producers, actors, directors and old people in Orange County.   
      
   Who actually votes on the Grammy Awards?
