Was Howard Dean nominated in the Best Male Vocal Performance category for his hit single "HEY AAARGH"?

I hate awards shows, so I don't watch...but beg to differ...Outkast is pretty good. They've combined 70's style funk with irreverent humour.

I think a lot of people here just have different ideas of what is garbage and what is truly music. Remember in the 50's Rock n' Roll just came out and it was "crap" to those who where used to classical, etc. By the way Rock and Rap will be here forever especially since mainstream Americans have adopted it as a whole.

""Peter and the Wolf," which was recorded to honor the 50th anniversary of Sergei Prokoviev.

Clinton's recording of this is a revisionist one. I think the wolf's a good guy or something in this (no joke!)

Big surprise -- according to the Grammy winners' list, both Bill Clinton and Al Franken have already won.

ugh

Hillary Clinton for a Grammy? Is this a joke? Or a typo?

As for Beyonce Knowles, what a disgusting person, whose sense of entitlement borders on the pathological. The demands for her to sing our national anthem included that no one near her or near her entourage be seen drinking anything but Pepsi. No more Pepsi at our house.

Are you serious. I think you may be constipated.

No need to get vulgar. Among other sources, the San Francisco Chronicel reported that Beyonce even "shocked the organizers of Super Bowl" with her extrvagant demands.
