the future of fun.


Congratulations to the 2013 Best New Artist Grammy winners: fun.! Let's take a look at your future, by looking at past winners....

5 years from now, you'll be dead: Amy Winehouse, Best New Artist 2008.


If you survive that (which you probably will since you don't seem to have a lot in common with Amy Winehouse), 15 years from now, you'll tour with Lilith Fair to show sisterhood is powerful: Paula Cole, Best New Artist 1998.


30 years from now, you'll prove Brooklyn (where the beer does flow and the men chunder) is the new Australia: Men At Work, Best New Artist 1983.


35 years from now, you'll force Steve Martin to give you what rightfully belonged to Shaun Cassidy: Debby Boone, Best New Artist 1978.


50 years from now, you'll be ready to perform with a great singer of a Bond theme--just pray that Adele has a variety show: Robert Goulet, Best New Artist 1963 (here with the incomparable Shirley Bassey on her 1980 television special, A Special Lady).


PS to fun.: Some Wikipedia editor is throwing major shade your way. Your entry begins: "Fun (stylized as fun.)" which is an amazingly dismissive use of a parenthetical.
