RE: (TV) Grammy "Awards"

Oh, don't get me started on the fuckin' Grammies.
I remember growing up in the 70's and watching Oliva-Newton-John winning
countless numbers of those statues. I couldn't run fast enough away from
that.

Oh exactly. Right on the money (pun intended). 

When I was a kid, I used to look forward to the Grammys, and I was always 
disappointed that the acts I liked never won anything. Now, I see that lack 
of winning as a point of pride! 

I saw once (and only once) the televising of the CMJ Music Awards. On the 
show I saw (minimum 5-10 years ago), Lou Reed got a lifetime achievement 
award. That's more like it.
