Chesterb,
One thing that you should keep in mind in both Willie Nelson and Bonnie Raitt's win at the Grammy's, you need to understand that while both are certainly deserving of these awards, they were much more due to the fact that the raitings of all awards shows are in the toilet, and these two were more or less "reaching out to make old people (white people) keep tuning into the Grammys, despite all the total insanity and insulting that they have become." It's a ploy to lure older viewers who have tuned out, to try and get the ratings up. With Willie, it's mostly the "Let's give Willie one more before he dies" and with Bonnie it's the "Unknown blues singer" (an actual quote from one of the reviewer) who is "culturally appropriating music, and denying Beyonce her much deserved award." These are coming from the people whose entire understanding of history is three years before. Any other history is there to be destroyed, erased and re-written.
So before anyone gets too comfortable with a couple of wins, however well deserved, this is really more just a "Hey people who spend money for our advertisers, come on back! We're not as Satanic, woke idiots as we seem to be."
Just a token. A last nod to forms of music that are mostly gone and in the mind of the people behind this, are being celebrated that they're gone. No more, no less.

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
