Well, at least this (saying from the start that you're not going to
show up or accept anything given) is an improvement over showing up at
a concert, singing four songs, leaving the stage without notice and
then letting the audience be informed that you have left your own show
-- and never making up the date.

People in Austin probably wouldn't come back now even if she promised
to sing the national anthem.

>The Question:  What does this do to Kate's chances?

Unfortunately, probably not much.  And, much as I would *love* to see
Kate get a Grammy, I'm not sure that getting one in a category created
just because the Grammy people were weenies and didn't want to put
Sinead O'Connor in the existing categories would be the best thing.  

Ed, this is not a flame at you, just at the (to me) obnoxious
situation in general.  Grumble grumble grumble.

                          Very, very true, Sinead.  Watch and learn.
