Madonna referred to herself as "the Susan Lucci of the music industry" in an interview with Jim Farber of the "New York Daily News" this past week -- referring to the "All My Children" star who has been nominated multiple times for an Emmy, but has yet to win one.

Of course, Madonna was referring to her past luck with the Grammy Awards, although she did receive a statuette back in 1991 for Best Long Form Music Video for the "Blonde Ambition World Tour Live" collection. However, Madonna is hoping to add a few more to her collection after Wednesday night, thanks to the six nominations she's earned this year for "Ray of Light."

Meanwhile, the singer turned up at brother-in-law Joe Henry's show at the Conga Room in Los Angeles last week. Among those also in attendance were the Counting Crows' Adam Duritz, 311's Nick Hexum and the Wallflowers' Jakob Dylan.

The younger Dylan, a longtime fan of Joe Henry's, was also tapped to sing back-up on the track "Skin and Teeth," from Henry's

seventh album, "Fuse."

Henry, who's married to Madonna's sister Melanie, told MTV News that he and Madonna were not as different as their contrasting styles may suggest.

There used to be a lot more distance between the things she does and the kind of things I'd like to do, but we're still not exactly in the same line of work." [28.8 RealVideo][/article]

Henry's new album, "Fuse," arrives in stores on March 9, while you can find out if Madonna garners any more awards from the National Recording Academy when the Grammys are handed out on Wednesday at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
