Grammy Awards - for those that care...

Magic was released before the cutoff date for the 2008 Grammy's, and it lost the Best Rock Album award to the Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace from the Foo Fighters.

Randy, why then is GITSC nominated? That's strange...and either way, Kid Rock should be kicked in the balls and rolled off a cliff

It was released as a single in January 2008, so it is eligible.

GITSC was released later and rolled over into next years Grammy Awards I guess.

And I liked the Kid Rock album..

So GITSC was one of the best songs of the year? That is pathetic.

GITSC sounded good on the CD.......but it just didn't work in Concert

Here's Joel Selvin's take on the Grammys in particular and the music business in general from today's SF Chronicle.

"Pop music in this century is a corporate entertainment, a lifestyle accessory, a purposeless, nearly useless disposable commodity that has practically returned the hit parade to the puerile, pointless days of "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window."

Today's pop stars are manufactured by management firms in sleek offices with million-dollar budgets, staffs of legal counsel, publicists, stylists, marketing consultants - Pussycat Dolls anyone? Their records have been ProTooled into submission, every wrinkle smoothed out, every squeak, belch, intake of air digitally manipulated into a perfect, lifeless aural confection."
