Sometimes I think the "honors" don't involve just how you sing, but who you know, who knows you and who owes you. It's nice to think they're all free from influences, clout and the committees' pet, but people are people. If there are honors commitees who are above such influences and recognize performers solely for their talent and impact on society, then they are certainly excepted from my cynical view, and are a bright spot in humanity.
