The '09 Grammys: HUH?? WTF??

Well, it seems after plucking Herbie Hancock's tribute to Joni Mitchell out of left field last year, the Grammy people have mebarked on a programme of rotating genres for the epotlight.
how else does one explain the choice of musical odd couple Robert Plant and Aliison Krauss for Song and Album of the Year (as well as three othe trophies).
Of course, both artistes' credentials are well established - Plant as former Led Zep front man and "Sea of Love" solo artiste and Krauss as the reigning queen of bluegrass, but this showering of praise just doesn't add up for me (not evne with the gifted if laconic T-Bone Burnett as producer)
Ah well, amybe this means reggae is next in the rotation so 2010 might be our year.

Yeaahhh, riiiight!
