Zevon gets five

Warren Zevon tallies five Grammy nominations, including Best Contemporary Folk (??) Album for The Wind. I'd be surprised if he doesn't capture at least one award, though, face it, folks, were Zevon still alive and well, he'd never have gotten a second thought from the nominating crowd.

On the other hand, we can only hope the Oscar nominations mirror those of the film-oriented Grammys. If so, we'll see The Folksmen, et al., performing the theme to "A Mighty Wind" come Feb. 29.

BTW, I can find nothing online referring to the Chevy commercial, but I damn sure heard it at the time. Meantime, check out John Mellencamp's latest composition .
