Saturday Background Jazz
Nothing spectacular… just a little way to relax yourself into the weekend.

Out Of Nowhere
So the Grammy Awards show just happened — no, I didn’t watch it either — and to the amazement of the modern music industry, the likes of Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Adele and Lizzo (all women, or very close to being one) all lost out in the Best Song category to a complete nobody, a complete unknown (to them) named Bonnie Raitt.
“Who?” they asked. “What’s she ever done? I’ve never even seen her on InstaGram or Tik-Tok!”
As this article points out, and as anyone over 50 would know, this “unknown” Bonnie Raitt (73) has already won fourteen (14) Grammys before, and was been inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame (a dubious honor, but nevertheless).
The fact that Bonnie’s wonderful Nick Of Time album won just about everything back in 1989 — long before most of these Gen Z twerps were even born — will no doubt come as a shock, but there you go.
So well done, me old darling. You’ve certainly given this self-absorbed bunch of weenies something to talk about.
