Back Bay Smoke-Out: Condo Owner Sues Over Secondhand Smoke
The closest we came to a big Grammy award this year may have been Berklee grad John Mayer, who pulled in Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Say" from Continuum and Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance for "Gravity" from Where the Light Is: Live in Los Angeles. If we're counting Boston collegiates, we could include Bruce Springsteen's Best Rock Song win for "Girls In Their Summer Clothes," since his son's at BC and all. Inexplicably popular UK artists Coldplay, Duffy, and Adele raked in several awards, as did Frenchmen Daft Punk. How did the association ever pass over NKOTB?

Brian King - leader of What Time is it Mr. Fox? - authored the song "Cold Rain" which was sung by Irma Thomas on her album "Simply Grand" which was nominated under the category of Contemporary Blues. Unfortunately it was beat out by Dr. John & the Lower 911, City that Care Forgot (which was rather a sentimental choice if you ask me...) Ironically Dr. John is actually on Thomas's album

The album and record of the year (Alison Kraus and Robert Plant's piece) was put out by Boston(area)-based Rounder Records.
John's is a former Berklee attendee, but he dropped out after a short time and headed down to Atlanta. That's why I always find it amusing that he gets nominated for BMA awards.
