Elvis Costello’s first Grammy for an album
Congratulations to the amazing Elvis Costello on his first Grammy win for and album, the fantastic Look Now. Like every year I watched the Grammys with my wife this past Sunday. I don’t really care for the Grammys (haven’t in over 15 years I think) but it’s a tradition I can’t get rid of, like watching the Oscars or Golden Globes. But unlike the other two awards I mentioned, the Grammys seem to be worse and worse every year. It’s probably a sign of me getting older but the performances and winners interest me less and less every year. This year I only really cared about two of the nominees I saw on the show (both for best new act): Black Pumas and Yola. Unsurprisingly neither won, still wouldn’t make a difference to me if either got a Grammy or not, I like what I like and a Grammy would certainly not change my opinion, but it would still be nice to see something I consider really good get some recognition…I feel like it would give me some hope for the future...
