Boston: City of Beans, Breakers, and... No Grammys?
Ah, Boston. Home of the Red Sox, ridiculously delicious clam chowder, and a marathon that makes even the fittest question their life choices. But when it comes to music's biggest night, the Grammys, well, let's just say Boston's trophy cabinet is looking a little bare.

Did Someone Forget to Pack the Lobsters for the Award Show?
The rock band Boston, with their iconic power ballads like "More Than a Feeling" and "Peace of Mind," might be the first to come to mind when you think of music from Beantown. Shockingly, they've never actually snagged a Grammy. We're talking about a band that sold millions of albums, had enough riffs to build a skyscraper, and could make even the most tone-deaf person tap their foot. Maybe the judges were too busy getting chills from the cowbell in "Don't Look Back" to notice their musical genius?
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
There is a glimmer of hope, though. John Williams, the legendary composer who conducted the Boston Pops Orchestra for a while, holds the record for the most Grammy wins (21) by anyone with a Boston connection. That's right, the man who brought us the iconic scores for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Jurassic Park apparently has a special place in his heart for Boston (and apparently velociraptors).
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.

So, Does Boston Have Any Grammy Love at All?
Fear not, fellow Bostonian music fans! There have been a few other musicians from the area who've gotten some Grammy love. Ricky Boston (no relation to the band) scored a nomination for Best Soul Gospel Performance back in the day. And hey, a nomination is an accomplishment, right? Besides, with all that delicious Fenway Park Fenway Franks to fuel their creativity, Boston's musicians are bound to bring home the gold eventually.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
Maybe next year, Boston? We're rooting for you!
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
