40th Grammy Awards

Date	February 25, 1998
Venue	Radio City Music Hall, New York, New York
Host	Kelsey Grammer
Network:	CBS

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 too boring, the 1998 Grammys had several memorable and shocking moments. Among them:

Wu-Tang Clan member Ol' Dirty Bastard interrupts Shawn Colvin's Song of the Year acceptance speech to protest the Clan's loss in the Best Rap Album category.
Immediately after performing "How Do I Live," LeAnn Rimes loses Best Female Country Vocal Performance to Trisha Yearwood's cover version of the exact same song.
Aretha Franklin performs an ill-interpreted 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.
Paula Cole gives the finger during her performance of "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?"
