All rock and country artists should boycott the Grammys. It is basically the PG-13 version of the Source Awards.
This has been going on a long time. In 1958, the Grammy award for Best Country Western Song went to the "Tom Dooley" by the Kingston Trio. Were these city boys really country western?
The award for Best Rock and Roll Song for 1964 went to Petula Clark's "Downtown." Was this tune, set to a slow and gentle bolero beat, really rock and roll? And for 1966, the award for Best Rock and Roll Performance went to "Winchester Cathedral" by the New Vaudeville Band. Yes, it's a good song, but does this ragtime revival novelty belong in the same class as classic rockers from the Rolling Stones, the Spencer Davis Group, the Who, the Yard Birds, etc.?
