Τα φετινά βραβεία Grammy θα θυμόμαστε για διάφορους λόγους. Όσοι τα είδαν ζωντανά ή παρακολούθησαν τις ειδήσεις το μόνο ίσως που κατάλαβαν είναι ότι αν είσαι εκεντρικός χαρακτήρας και θέλεις να κάνεις μια περίεργη εμφάνιση, όπως να πας μέσα σ’ ένα αβγό, τα ετήσια βραβεία Grammy είναι ιδανικά. Ο λόγος όμως που ασχολούμαστε με τα μουσικά βραβεία είναι γιατί ανάμεσα στις κατηγορίες του έχει, επτά αφορούν χριστιανούς καλλιτέχνες.
