A gross injustice

That's Jimmy Sturr and his Orchestra, playing "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

Every year, Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra wins a Grammy for the best polka record. Every year. Jimmy Sturr has 18 Grammies. Springsteen has 19. The man is a monster.

So this year, how did Jimmy do?

He lost.

But not only that, the Grammy people eliminated the polka category. Jimmy Sturr was nominated in the best traditional folk record category. Traditional folk? Please. The Grammies still have a category for Hawaiian music. But no polka?

He lost to Loudon Wainwright III.

Jimmy was robbed.
