Rigor Mortis Online

So the Grammy awards have come and gone again and Stephen Colbert (my hero) has won a Grammy! Best comedy album, yea, besides that who really cares about the rest. I never even know that they are happening until afterwards when I hear about the winners the next day, so without even knowing who was nominated for anything I have a list of the winners for you here. I kind of ridiculed the Golden Globes earlier in a post, but the Grammy’s are by far worse.  Music is more subjective than movies but man pop music is lame and this is a pop music ceremony so why even bother paying attention to it you may ask?

Well good question, maybe I should just stop here. If you are curious who won what award anyways just because they’re so “prestigious”, read on.
