Grammy Awards of 1998

2005-12-13T08:57:00.000-08:00

The 40th Grammy Awards were held on February 25, 1998. They recognized accomplishments by musicians from the previous year.

Unlike many Grammy award ceremonies, which are often criticized for being staid and boring, the 1998 Grammys had several memorable moments. Among them:

Wu-Tang Clan member Ol' Dirty Bastard drunkenly interrupts Shawn Colvin's acceptance speech to protest the Clan's loss in the Best Rap Album category.
LeAnn Rimes performs the song "How Do I Live," and then immediately afterwards, loses the award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance to Trisha Yearwood's version of the same song
Aretha Franklin performs a stunning version of the aria Nessun Dorma after substituting in for Luciano Pavarotti at the last minute
During a Bob Dylan performance, a shirtless backup dancer named Michael Portnoy rushes to the front of the stage with the words "Soy Bomb" written on his chest
