“I’m not Grammy material. I hate that shit. It has nothing to do with rock ‘n’ roll. It only has to do with Hollywood, and it’s jive — a buncha people handin’ each other awards and talkin’ about how they made the best record … There is no best in music.”

- Neil Young, 1987

So Neil finally won one today, but it’s for art direction for his career-spanning box set. So it doesn’t really count all that much.

That said, I totally agree. I respect the Academy Awards and Emmy’s to a degree, because you can at least attempt to corral and compare movies and TV. It’s damn near impossible to do either with music.
