Grammy's Get OK from WGA (Wizbang Pop!)

It's official. The Grammys will go on, witty banter and all.

A week after striking writers said they wouldn't picket the music shindig, the other shoe has dropped. In a brief statement, the Writers Guild of America announced Monday that it has inked an interim deal with the Recording Academy allowing scribes to work on the nonsinging parts of the show.

"Professional musicians face many of the same issues that we do concerning fair compensation for the use of their work in new media," said Writers Guild of America West President Patric M. Verrone.
