But no, we’ve got to give the award to the act with the brand name. This would be like giving the Oscar to…"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men’s Chest". It’s RECOGNIZABLE, it’s just not CLASSIC!
[...] "Not Ready To Make Nice" is ubiquitous on the coffee tables of baby boomers who want to impress their liberal friends, fuck, it probably doesn’t even make it into the CD player.Nor did it make it on to people’s iPods. It wasn’t even in the iTunes TOP FIFTY! It was number 61, yup, that’s my definition of a hit.
[...] Oh, we know why the Dixie Chicks won. Because nobody RECOGNIZED the rest of the nominees, they went for the name around longest, which they were FAMILIAR WITH!
I bet not even ten percent of Grammy voters know who Danger Mouse is, never mind Cee-Lo. So, they shouldn’t have been allowed to VOTE in this category. You don’t search for and reward excellence by turning over the decision-making reins to CHIMPANZEES!
When Boosh is a distant memory, in a decade or two, who'll remember the Dixie Chicks song that won at the Grammys in 2007.
