Remember last year when it seemed like the Grammys might turn out OK and then they sucked as usual? They will probably suck again this year! But damn, NARAS does a good job of getting my hopes up every winter. For 2017 they've given us just enough intriguing performers and eyebrow-raising nominations to coax me into wondering if maybe, just maybe I will walk away from my Sunday night watching CBS feeling something other than vaguely nauseated disinterest. Beyond fulfilling my professional obligation as a Pop Music Columnist, it almost certainly will be a profound waste of my time. Except: Chance The Rapper is performing!
