No, you're not the only one. I was very glad for him, although I think he's written better songs, even some that were nominated in years past but didn't win. When Randy's good he's very good. But I thought Sting's song was best, and Paul's was not, although the great flautist Jim Walker on penny whistle was cool. -Fred
