I had a friend that was on the list of Grammy Nominees in 2007 for best Alternative Album. It was a long shot with Bright Eyes and some other big names I dont remember nominated in the same category. I didnt watch that year, and my friend didnt win. But like they always say “its just an honor to be nominated”. I am not sure how the awards work, and really dont pay much attention. I saw the paper from the Grammy people with the list of all the nominees and this guy wouldnt fake something like this. Hell, he was probably a little embarrassed to tell people in the first place. But anyway, like I said I dont usually watch.
Last night I happened to catch them. I flipped back and forth catching most of the show. I saw the horribly hideous Amy Winehouse win awards and preform “Rehab” while on a break from rehab. I still find it funny, call me silly, but it is.
Then I realized why I dont care about the Grammys. Wilco lost best rock album to Foo Fighters. Sure the Foos are a rocking band, they have good songs. But seriously, Wilco blows them away. I know what you are about to say, “thats your opinion the Foo is way better and they actually rock!” Which I could then use as the same argument back at you.
So there you have it. The winners are chosen by people whos opinions I could care less about. So I could care less about the Grammies.
For those people whos opinions I do take to heart, we all know who really won.
