Who Knew? Not Every Grammy Gets on TV - Congratulations on Grateful Dead Grammy

[lbpesq]

The 65th Grammy award show last Sunday featured lots of current artists I've never heard of, lots of what I refer to as "rhythmic poetry" that many others call "music" for some unfathomable reason, a scary list of almost contemporaries who died last year, lots of weird dresses covering as little as possible, and Bonnie Raitt winning.  However, it did not include all the Grammies awarded.   I learned today that the Good Ole Grateful Dead won a Grammy this year!  They won Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package for the CD box set IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN: MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ’81 ’82 ’83! 

The Grateful Dead winning a Grammy in 2023?  Whooda thunk it!  CONGRATS!

Bill, tgo

Aannnnd.....they gave a Grammy to the guy who invented Auto-Tune!     

[cozmik_cowboy]

I am, for both moral and logical reasons, firmly opposed to capital punishment, but I might be willing to make an exception for anyone who uses Auto-Tune® - especially those who use it to fake yodel!

The lovely & charming Ms. Cherilyn Ann Sarkasian Bono Allman did that (just yesterday) all those years ago, and I just groaned "Oh, feck!  Now everybody's gonna do that annoying excrement!"  And, lo & behold, here we are (and to think that my silly grandsons have actually started to claim "Granddude doesn't know everything"......)

Over here, the Daily Mail headline ' Shock as unknown Blues singer beats Beyonce, taylor swift and adele to best song'. Unknown!!!!  It was Bonnie Raitt FFS! Since the start of this century she's had six sell out tours in the UK (including her opening set for JT in 2018) and back again in June so hardly unknown.  Of course the Daily mail is quite likely the worst of the UK rags but you'd expect them to have carried out maybe 5 minutes of research before they wrote their article.  Hutch was raging on farcebook earlier this week and quite rightly!.

Are you f-ing s-ing me?!?!?  Bonnie stopped being "unknown" before any of those other ones were born!!

Peter (who has been madly in love with the amazing Ms. Raitt for almost that long)

What’s next?  “Unknown 60s group from Liverpool beats out Lizzo and The Weeknd for Rock & Roll HOF”!

hehehehe

I will add that Bonnie's win is as sweet as when Esparanza Spalding beat out the Beibs for "Best New Artist".

Bonnie has won multiple Grammy's in the past starting in 1990 when "Nick of Time" won for album of the year. 1990 was a big year for her but there were more nominations and wins in subsequent years.

"Nick of Time" also brought Raitt her first Grammy Award win, plus two more for good measure. After more than a decade since her first nomination, she dominated the Grammy Awards that night in 1990. Raitt won for album of the year, best female pop vocal performance, and best female rock vocal performance. To round out the magical night, she also picked up a fourth Grammy Award for her collaboration with legendary bluesman John Lee Hooker on "I'm In The Mood," which won for best traditional blues recording.

Bonnie Rocks, love her music!

She Gave Them Something To Talk About?


 


Sorry... back to sleep... glad to see the Grateful Dead win that one, but I was rooting for Christine McVie. Or was that a different category?
