Chicks Rule!

I'm really not that interested in most of the music that grabs the attention and airtime of the Grammy award show, but last night's big score by the Dixie Chicks was the right thing for so many reasons, most, but not all, of which, are purely musical. It really is a great album.

Very pleased, too, about the recognition for Bruce Springsteen's Seeger Sessions project, which won in the Best Tradtional Folk Music category. I'm not sure if hard-core traditionalists would call it traditional folk music, but it's music clearly within the folk tradition, and superb under any label. Another one got right by the Grammy voters.
