after earning their first grammy, Eddie Vedder stood with the other guys in Pearl Jam and said "I don't know what this means or what I'm doing here." how do we put a grade on art? do we find our favorite poem and give it a smiley face sticker with an accolade like "good goin!"? do we single out a Mattisse sculpture, give it a round of applause and an Applebee's gift card? I don't have a grade for the things I love. that takes the fun out of loving them. I'll listen to your song. I'll play it again. I won't give it any stars but I'll give it all my attention.
