Very Few Bay Area Folks Won Grammy Awards Last Night

During last night's Grammy Awards - did you watch?! - a few winners "with strong Bay Area ties" took home trophies. Neil Young won best rock song for "Angry World"; Berkeley Repertory Theatre's "American Idiot," which transitioned to Broadway last year, won best musical show album; and Pixar's Toy Story 3 won composer Randy Newman a Grammy. Outside the Bay Area, Canadian pop toddler Justin Bieber failed to win Best New Artist, with the award instead going to Esperanza Spalding, who now faces the collected wrath of angry teenagers.
