I kind of enjoyed this. The article starts with Jill Scott complaining about how she's torn between being a nominee and a writer...
Still, "whatever the case, we should respect the writers," said Grammy-winning rock legend Tom Petty, who is not in the Grammy race this year.
And as far as all the consternation and hand-wringing from others in the music industry about the fate of the awards show, Petty said, "I've never met a musician who gave a damn about the Grammys, actually."

Have you thanked a taper today?
