Ya ask a stupid question ...

OK, so someone tell me ... just exactly what it is that a dead guy can do with 8 Grammys, again?

Not meaning to disrespect Ray Charles' talent (he was a great musician), but I do find it incredibly sad and pathetic that the ONLY reason he won 8 Grammys is because he died . . . if he were still alive, he wouldn't have been considered "worthy" enough to garner so many awards in one year.

Well, at least it kept the awards out of the hands of the 'rappers' and the 'hip-hop' jerks. I can't stand their "music", I find it as melodic as finger nails on a blackboard. I find their words offensive and their influence on kids to be negative.

It was a tribute to a great musician and cut down on the glorification of the drug thugs.

~if Tupac can sell more albums 6 feet under than 6 feet above the ground why not throw some statue-bling Ray's way?~
