NO NO WE WON'T GO... NO NO WE WON'T GO!!!
A bevy of country stars dodged a potential bullet when the Hollywood writers guild decided Tuesday not to set up a picket line at the Grammy awards.
The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences had argued that because the show is music-driven, the bulk of the evening is about performances rather than scripted banter, and the writers apparently agreed.
Vince Gill was among the artists who were conflicted about the issue, but this development saves him from having to make a tough decision.
"I'm a writer for a living," Vince explained to The Tennessean. "In my heart of hearts I think they'll get this settled. It was kind of ironic though: You get nominated for a big award, and then you go, 'Dang, I don't know if we're going to get to go to this party.'"
Vince made those comments during a party for Nashville Grammy nominees at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel. Among the other guests at the event: Taylor Swift, Dierks Bentley, Montgomery Gentry, Emerson Drive, The Time Jumpers, "Give It Away" songwriter Buddy Cannon and "Before He Cheats" composers Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins.
