LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton (news - web sites) won a Grammy Award on Sunday, but not for his famed saxophone playing.

Clinton was honored in the spoken word album for children category for a project he worked on with fellow winners, former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev and Italian screen siren Sophia Loren (news).

None of them was at the ceremony to pick up the award for "Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf/Beintus: Wolf Tracks."

Clinton's wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton (news - web sites), was nominated in the spoken word album category for the audiobook version of her bestselling memoirs "Living History," but she lost to satirist Al Franken's "Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair And Balanced Look At The Right."

Unbelievable. Or rather totally believeable from the leftist elites. Post #6 by Fire Track is amazing reading. I'm printing it for copies to hand out to a few friends.

Weird Al made an album of PERTER & THE WOLF ? I had NO idea and that is NOT the recording I have. Basil Rathbone narrates mine. :-)

Isn't there also some sort of award for advertising? Shouldn't this man receive an award for the selling of the Office of the Presidency? Especially in China?

"A woman displays a pamphlet in which former President Clinton's image is used to promote Rejuveface, a woman's beauty mask, in Beijing Friday Feb. 6, 2004. The characters read 'Service I can trust.' "

[texasbluebell]

This is so wrong that I can't even articulate it.

LOL!!!!!!!

[texasbluebell]

Can you even believe it?

[vpintheak]

Would you expect anything less from the liberal media and music industry?

[bonfire]

In the Dallas "magazine" that comes with the Sunday paper, there was a whole article about Tim Robbins and his right to "free speech" etc. Seems he was raised by whacko's and the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.

"Service I can trust."

I don't even want to go there.

I love Basil Rathbone. A great actor; I also understand (according to an interview with the late actor John Howard) that we was quite the conservative.

[nopardons]

Me too...I've adored him since I was a tiny child! And yes, he was a Conservative. If you want to know how I know, ask me in Freepmail. :-)

[texasbluebell]

That must be the rendition I had as a child too. I can hear it now, in my mind.

Pity the poor children who have to listen to the likes of WJC et al.

What a world.

I'll not rest until Clintoon wins an Oscar for any number of his performances--particularly his abhorrent act at Ron Brown's funeral.

Laughs To Tears in 4 seconds....

Boris Karloff also narrated a version of Peter and the Wolf; like Rathbone, he was a great horror villain, but also a had a soft and cultured side that he often let the world show.

Here's a list of other actors who recorded versions of the Profkiev classic (cut-and-pasted from another site). ANY of them is preferable to Klintoon's: Sir John Gielgud, Andre Previn, David Bowie, Jack Lemmon, Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo), Dom DeLuise, Dudley Moore, Patrick Stewart, Sean Connery and Melissa Joan Hart.

that's a joke, right?

I guess I need to bone up on pop up ads or maybe even pop culture . What exactly is a Grammy anyway ? What is the value of having this thing ?
