I don't know why, but I'm always compelled to check out the nominees knowing 
it'll usually make me crazy.

Personal favorite Grammy gaffe? No, not Tull for best HM band. (Joe, you'll 
like/know this) ... Frank Zappa's BROADWAY THE HARD WAY was nominated for 
"Best Broadway Cast Album". Nice? Well, BWTHW isn't from a Broadway show! 
It's a live album from FZ's '88 tour. My only conclusion is that they never 
listened to it, but figured this was a way they could nominate FZ (to help 
them look hip). Pathetic.

PS: By the way, my criticism is based solely on placing the album in a wildly 
incorrect category. The album is a masterpiece, one of Frank's best.
