I went to the Grammy site to find more info about this award and couldn't. I read in a news article that Julie Andrews, Dolly Parton and The Ramones were other recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award this year. (I remember Mr. Bob relating the story of how the group once out-partied the Ramones after a gig somewhere.) Anyway, while on the Grammy site I found this list of awards with this year's nominees. I was stunned to see the number of categories. I'd like to own the company that makes those trophies! Here's a link to the list:

I was thinking how sad it is that Dave, Nick and John didn't live to see their work honored in this way. Too little too late in my opinion. Somewhat akin to the Governor of North Carlina issuing a pardon to Tom Dooley in 2001.
