Zevon, Harrison, Cashes Among Dead Grammy Nominees

When I first read that headline, I seriously thought the Dead Grammies was a new awards show. Can you blame me?

And judging from this year's crop of living Grammy nominees, the Dead Grammies would probably be more exciting to watch. A little Marvin Gaye, anyone?

Edited to add: Fountains of Wayne? BEST NEW ARTIST? That's funny, considering the album I have in my hand came out in, uhh, 1996...

And also: Miss Independent for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance? Have the Grammy people never HEARD that song?? It's worse than whale shrieking.

And also: Randy Newman *snigger*

Michelle Branch is a Rock Vocal Performance? Anyone ever heard of Joan Jett?? Or Sleater Kinney?

Did Luther Vandross ever wake up from that coma? Or is he up for a Dead Grammy as well?

won't somebody testify, kick a hole right in the sky

My head hurts.
