Give This Man Some Applause On His First Solo Grammy Nomination

Grammys ^ | 10-7-04 | my favorite headache

[My Favorite Headache]

Neil Peart of Rush nominated for his drum solo from Rush In Rio O'Baterista.

Congrats Neil!

Rock Instrumental Performance: "Instrumental Illness," The Allman Brothers Band; "Onda," Los Lonely Boys; "O Baterista," Rush; "Whispering a Prayer," Steve Vai; "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow," Brian Wilson.

[weegee]

I won't say this of many of the cuts on Brian Wilson's SMiLE but the original recording the Beach Boys did of "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow" was better. I don't like this arrangement (the keyboards, etc.).

[MotleyGirl70]

Sweet! Neil's one of the best.

I saw Rush back in 1991 for Roll the Bones tour. Excellent concert.

[the invisib1e hand]

Not really a Rush fan, but liked Neil's "standing on the shoulders of giants" remark in a Modern Drummer (I think it was) interview years ago.

I do like the song about the car, though.

Former US president Bill Clinton wins another Grammy nod (He didn't have sax...)

[MetalHeadConservative35]

dont you love how clinton is considered a rock star?

whats next? the first true pioneer in space? or wait wait..hes the greatest comedian that ever lived

the worlds view of clinton as some kinda hero is nauseating

[My Favorite Headache]

I love Triumph...the band and the dog..and hell the motorcycle...but even Triumph's owner is a mad liberal.

[My Favorite Headache]

So the Rapist is now gonna be a grammy winner...lovely

[dfwgator]

Motorhead nominated for a Grammy?!? Isn't that one of the seven signs of the Apocolypse?

[My Favorite Headache]

Motorhead has been nominated a few times before actually. I remember seeing Lemmy in the crowd in the late 90s...funny as hell..so out of place.

[Pest]

Outstanding! It's about time. I'm a huge RUSH fan. I've seen them every tour since Signals. They just keep getting better!

[weegee]

Dead men can't celebrate winning.

Honor people when they are alive.

Charles Schultz was given a medal of honor post-humously.

[weegee]

He's already won one (with Gorby). So has his wife.

[weegee]

Triumph The Insult Dog almost sparked an internalional incident when he insulted/lampooned Quebec.

I saw it the first time around and can tell you it was still funny when I saw the rerun.
