Every few years, some guy gets up on stage and insists that Beyonce is due some award that she didn't get - I'd assume she's embarrassed by all this and wishes they'd shut up.

The awards themselves are a joke and have been for many decades. I remember when I was a kid back in the '70s and the grown ups were laughing about Christopher Cross getting a Grammy for this godawful song that used to play on AM radio - "Sailing".

I read somewhere that after a 5 year period of not writing anything new, the late John Lennon was inspired to create new music when he heard “Sailing” by Cris Cross in 1979. The next year, 1980, John produced his last work; Double Fantasy, under the ‘guidance’ of his wife, Yoko.
