Har har...

Speaking of awards and being nominated:

It's not some snob thing for me, but here are other bands that have been
ignored by music awards:

Velvet Underground
The Smiths....
....that is, until recently when it got a life time achievement something
or other......

 Most awards the great bands get are the life time "oops we screwed up and
didn't acknowledge you" things.

Bands and acts that have been acknowledged:

Hootie and the Blowfish
Paula Abdul
Milli Vanilli

Everything's a copyright violation if you're rich.....

 The ones who join after October aren't "true" fans since they didn't buy
the album right away, and therefore we won't be kind to those people and
use Vasoline.
