\n“Why bash the GRAMMYS?”<\/strong><\/em> We’ve been asked this of late. The GRAMMYS have never done anything to us. At a young age it was clear that the GRAMMYS would play little to no role in our rock snob lives. It was a For The Industry, By The Industry affair. Rarely did a happening band win anything. Rarely did a legendary artists win at the height of his or her powers. The Beatles<\/strong> and Stevie Wonder<\/strong> have done all right by the GRAMMYS, but Dylan<\/strong> had to get off his high horse and serve somebody<\/em> before he would earn his first GRAMMY. <\/p>\n

The Rolling Stones<\/strong>, as Townsman KingEd<\/strong> will examine, have won a mere 2 shameful GRAMMYS. U2 tops all bands in GRAMMY wins, with 22 and counting. Must be the appeal of Bono’s acceptance speeches<\/strong>, a topic that will be covered by Townswoman Crystal<\/strong>. Need I say more than A Taste of Honey<\/em> to help you understand why we bash the GRAMMYS?
