GRAMMY Rewind: Watch Bob Dylan Accept His GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award In 1991

At the 33rd GRAMMYs Awards show, alongside presenter Jack Nicholson, a bemused Dylan responds to the honor by cryptically paraphrasing a Biblical psalm

Bob Dylan has a long history of accepting awards in an offbeat fashion, but his acceptance of the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award in 1991 has to be his most inscrutable—and memorable. 

As a starstruck Jack Nicholson introduces him, a purple-suited, fedoraed Dylan anxiously undulates in place; when he receives the honor, he stares at it for several seconds, thought after incredulous thought flashing across his visage.

Bob Dylan's Lifetime Achievement Award

"Well, um, all right—yeah," he finally allows. "Well, my daddy, he didn't leave me too much, you know? He was a very simple man and he didn't leave me a lot. But what he did tell me was this. He did say, 'Son…' He said..." (An awkward silence, a few scattered giggles.) "He said so many things, you know?" (Uproarious laughter.)

The yuks don't last long. "He said, you know, it's possible to become so defiled in this world that your own mother and father will abandon you," Dylan deadpans. "And if that happens, God will always believe in your own ability to mend your own ways. Thank you!" 

What did that paraphrase of Psalm 27:10 mean in the context of the GRAMMYs? Bob knows. Watch the classically weird and profound Dylan moment above and check out more GRAMMY Rewinds here.

We're now entering the second March of the pandemic. Despite vaccines being rolled out worldwide, many are falling victim to a feeling of hopelessness. To Lewis Howes, gratitude is our sharpest weapon for when we feel ourselves spiraling, gripped by COVID fatigue.

"It's really hard to be anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and angry while you're being grateful," the author, keynote speaker and entrepreneur says in the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only.

"So, anytime you're feeling those emotions, thoughts or frustrations, focus on something you're so grateful for," he continues. This, he explains, could be as minor as a meal or as major as a transformative experience with a loved one.

Howes then introduces Mali Music, a four-time-GRAMMY-nominated gospel-R&B great, who performs his deeply spiritual ode to divine favor, "My Blessings." Watch the empowering video above and check out more Positive Vibes only here.

Behind The Board: Producer-Engineer David Greenbaum On His Musical Beginnings & Capturing Happy Accidents

Producer-engineer David Greenbaum cleaned up at the 57th and 61st GRAMMY Awards thanks to his work with one artist—the imitable Beck Hansen. His production on 2014's atmospheric Morning Phase and 2017's radiant Colors netted him Album Of The Year, Best Rock Album and Best Engineered Album for Morning Phase, and Best Alternative Music Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for Colors. This year, for the 63rd GRAMMYs Awards Show, he’s nominated for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for 2019’s Hyperspace. 

Now, for the latest episode of Behind The Board, Greenbaum details the path that led him here.

"I played in bands originally, and then it sort of became an obsession, you know?" he muses from his music-stuffed space. "My bedroom, I converted into basically something very similar to this." As Greenbaum explains, his interest was so insatiable that he went from recording friends' bands to writing his own material. "I just wanted to be able to do everything," he says with a grin.

Greenbaum is keenly aware that spontaneous imperfections can make a tune transcendent. "Some of my favorite moments in sessions are the experiments and the accidents," he says. "Some of the most magical things have come from when you accidentally loop a thing—it's doing something weird, or the computer screws up—and you're just like 'Wait a minute! What was that? That was amazing!'"

With The Doobie Brothers’ "What A Fool Believes," writers Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald crafted a slice of smooth, unassuming soft-rock magic. While the tune may be a classic today, Loggins and McDonald had no way of knowing that—and they accepted the honor with a twinge of bafflement. (They also took home Record Of The Year for the same song.)

"I completely didn’t expect this," the lanky Loggins says in the clip. "I expected to be shaking Bill Champlin’s hand after this." Watch the GRAMMY Rewind video below.

Press Play At Home: Adam Melchor Pays Gorgeous Homage To His Sister With Performance Of "Jewel"

Adam Melchor moved to Los Angeles on the promise of one meeting, and that meeting got him signed to a label. Still, the New Jersey-born singer/songwriter was struggling in his new climes. One day, he called his sister, Julie, and asked her for good news. Julie replied that she recently had a moment where she knew her boyfriend was "the one." Today, that boyfriend is Julie’s fiancé, and Melchor celebrates her with "Jewel." 

On this week’s episode of Press Play At Home, he plucks and sings the tune, often breaking into a fragile falsetto. Throughout, he conjures memories of old-school Sufjan Stevens and the Shins. 

Check out Adam Melchor's performance below, and explore more episodes of GRAMMY.com's Press Play At Home series.
