[Slowhand] Grammy's

[Garret74 at aol.com]

well it kind of did.
EC was on Sam Moore's CD and Sam was  nominated.
I don't know the Grammy rules (like I know the Oscars and  Golden  Globes), 
but I think I read on another EC site that Road to  Escondido came out  too 
late...Could be?

Okay, before you say it, I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, and I  d=
on't expect much from the Grammy people. After all, aren't these the  peop=
le who awarded Jethro Tull a heavy metal award some years ago, and, as  I =
recall, Ian Anderson was too embrassed by the fiasco to even show up to  c=
laim his prize. I did think, however, among Clapton & JJC, Knopfler  & ELH=
arris and Dylan (ferchrisakes), at least one freeking nomination  would co=
me! Jeeeez!

I don't know if it came out too late or not, but not giving a nod to Dylan  
or Emmylou and Knopfler is disgraceful...
 
And as good as those albums are, Escondido is better! And JJ Cale has been  
overlooked for so long it's just unbelievable to me. I really think artists 
like  JJ Cale have to be rewarded for a lifetime of great playing and writing...
 
It seems all the Academy cares about anymore is Rap....I guess they feel  
they have to be 'hip and cool' to save the corrupt music corporate  
conglomerations. The record companies are probably going to die soon, and you  know what- 
they deserve to.
