Congrats to Matt and Trey (and Robert)! (UPDATED WITH VIDEO)

Finally avenging their Grammy loss to Phil Collins (for Blame Canada), Matt Stone and Trey Parker, along with Robert Lopez, won the Grammy for "Best Musical Theater Album" last night.  They won of course for The Book of Mormon, which has been a huge success on Broadway.  Lucky for me, I have tickets for the show in September!

Congrats!! 527/298
