I now understand your logic even I disagree with your rationale. It sounds ageist to me and more based on who they are vs the art itself.

I understand. I think I was trying to say that this Grammy was a little out of touch perhaps. I honestly didn’t love the song.
Just an opinion. I dig her never the less.

This is not accurate or productive. It’s ignorance and narrow mindedness
Yup
Could be you're a troll.
Or a curmudgeon.
Or both!

I just listened to the song for the first time. It's a great song, a great example of story telling and song craft. cheers to Bonnie. She doesn't write many songs, but when she does, they're killer.

This level of ignorance is appalling. A ten second google search would have shown this ignoramus who she is. Just sickening.

I thought Post Malone and Doja Cat should have won the award they were up for "I Like You"...best pop single I think it was.
Well unknown is maybe a bit of an exaggeration. I remember she was fairly well known between 1989-1994 for both singing and slide guitar. She has been out of the limelight for almost 30 years now. Perhaps unknown today by the younger generation compared to Beyonce, Adele and Taylor Swift.SERIOUSLY???

The Grammys are not at all relevant to me personally. I’m glad Bonnie struck a blow for more substantive music and good to see Molly Tuttle get recognized, but the bottom line is that the masses aren’t all that concerned with artistry and haven’t been for decades. Don’t confuse the ability to sell out stadiums and sell masses of products as talent or musical importance. I’m ok with Taylor Swift and Adele but it’s just not genuine enough for me. Just my opinion. Not looking for a fight. Excuse me but I have to turn my Merle Haggard LP over. Finishing my dinner dishes.

I think it was a bit of a dead cat bounce. She's a great musician, and has been rewarded greatly for it.
Best song of the year? No.
I was amazed at the sudden accolades for Nick Of Time, which was basically the same record she'd been making since 1971 - great singing, great playing, great choice of material. They finally caught on to her?

What credentials do you have that let you know what "the masses" are concerned with?
And did you even watch this year's Grammies?

Not looking for confrontation. We are talking about “Popular” music. I’ve never been concerned with awards shows. My credentials aren’t too important. Simply my opinion. Have a good evening.
This is getting snarky and unkind.
