Looking at the other nominees, I'd say Al has an excellent chance. It's most likely they'll give this award before the show airs, but we can always hope. I'd like to see a perfomance of Lose Yourself (up for Record of the Year) combined with a performance of Couch Potato -- Al and Em duet. Yeah right!

Anyway, I am delightfully happy and I'm just bubbling over with joy for Al, the band, and the others involved.

Yes. That's what I meant by my opening comment. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences made a new rule in the early 90s saying that only spoken word comedy albums could win Grammys. Al called it the "Yankovic Exclusionary Rule" But now NARAS changed the rule back and Al has been nominated

This marks the 1st time I've ever used the flaming smiley. I feel it's justified this time :biggrin:

I'm guessing Al's most serious (Loosly speaking, of course) would be David Cross.....Congrats definitly go out to Al & TBITB!!!!!

(Fountains of Wayne a "new" artist? Whatever....)
