While the practice was common in European disco (and among some U.S. pop stars), the red-faced Academy found it unconscionable. The repossessed gramophone wasn't handed to any of the other contenders: Neneh Cherry, Soul II Soul, Tone-Loc and the still-working Indigo Girls. Instead, the Academy blocked the incident from its collective memory, like some horrible trauma. Or maybe like any misguided dictatorship, Grammy is attempting to rewrite history.
