    My online presence has been minimal the past week. Today, I saw Grammy nominations were announced on Friday. I searched frantically for Lu, and cannot believe she was not nominated! Seriously?!

    Further proof (to me) of the continued irrelevance of the Grammys. It started to dawn on me back when A Taste of Honey (“Boogie Oogie Oogie”) beat out Elvis Costello and The Cars for Best New Artist at the ’79 awards… 😕
