On February 20, Dave Grohl won the Gibson Guitar Award for Best Rock Guitarist Male, and the whole group received two Grammys on February 21 . Their latest album, There Is Nothing Left to Lose, won Best Rock Album, anq they also nabbed Best Short Form Video for "Learn To Fly." Although the Grammys lost my respect when Britney Spears got one last year, I think the Foo Fighters' wins were well-deserved. Not only have they been winning awards, but they're getting set to give us some albums soon. The Foo Fighters will take a break from their non-stop touring schedule to begin recording a new record this spring, which is set to come out in late 2001 or early 2002. Foo Fighters' Chris Shiflett, formerly of No Use For a Name, is also a member of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, who will release their third album on March 20. The album, titled Blow In the Wind, is yet another collection of cover songs, such as "Sloop John B." by the Beach Boys and The Angels' "My Boyfriend's Back," and will be released on Fat Wreck Chords. Other members of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes include Fat Mike oft..OFX, Joey Cape ofLagwagon, and Spike Slawson of the Swingin' Utters. Shiflett may also tour with Me First on this summer' s Warped Tour, but this is not yet confirmed. Check www.foofighters.com for more information.

Cont from pg JO gun was shot before Shyne fired his own gun. But then again, did he even fire it? David Cubiletti, a flight attendant who is a friend of Combs' former personal assistant, has testified that it wasn't clear to him whether Shyne fired his gun or not. He said that he aimed it at the ceiling, but could not tell if it had been fired or not. Directly before this, according to Cubilleti, another man by the name of Matthew "Scar" Allen threw money at Combs. Combs said that he didn't remember any money being thrown at all. Another witness, an auto mechanic, testified that instead of concealing or holding a gun, Puffy was instead ducking out of harm's way. He said that he was standing next to Puffy at that time. Everyone's stories seem to be significantly different. When Puffy testified, he swore that he never had a gun. He calmly denied every charge against him with a believable case. The big question left standing is whether or not Puffy's ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez will testify or not. Back in December of '99, Lopez was originally arrested but later released. Does Lopez hold the missing key to this case? Who knows? She originally announced that she would not be testifying, but then Combs' lawyer Benjamin Brafman contradicted this publicly announced statement. He said that Lopez's announcement was simply an attempt to stop press speculation. Brafman reported, "It's always been a possibility [that Lopez would testify]." We won't know the outcome for a few months or even longer, but things aren't looking good as the evidence is screaming, "GUILTY!"
