[Debau2005]

3. Excellent intro by Joan Baez!!

[madame defarge]

23. OMG - Joan Baez is absolutely stunning

I saw her at Camp Casey a couple of years ago. She is so beautiful - inside & out.

What an honor for the Dixie Chicks. They deserve it.

"Listen carefully to their words."

[muntrv]

4. "Not Ready To Make Nice" is an awesome tune.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

5. When do we know if they have won? n/t

[Skidmore]

9. Don't know, but they are up for 5 awards, so the announcer

said.

[grytpype]

6. The Police rocked!

Are they touring? Because I will be there if they are!

[malaise]

8. Yep

I love Sting.

[Cha]

22. Sting Looked Good..they all did. The

Police sounded Really Good, too!

[muntrv]

7. Dixie Chicks may have lost country music fans, but they've gained fans outside

of country music.

[malaise]

16. I'm proof

Am no country music fan but love the Dixie chicks.

[Booster]

10. What an honor to be introduced by Joan Baez - just validates

them even more. Won't start on the West Coast til 8pm - we never get anything live.

[Cha]

20. I Know! And Joan Baez

talking about Woodie Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land, This Land Is My Land!"

[Sydnie]

11. thank you

I caught the last bit and it was great!

[qanda]

12. They were very good

Gave me chills.

[PCIntern]

13. Magnificent performance....

I had to tell my daughter who Joan Baez is. It's a long uphill battle...

[dancingme]

21. show her the Bob Dylan "No Direction Home" documentary

by Scorcese. Lots of video of early Joan and infor on her marching with King and protest songs.

[Skidmore]

26. That is such an excellent video.

I borrowed it from a friend. When I get a job, I'm going to buy it.

[poiuytsister]

14. Boy have they ever changed their look and sound

Still the best around tho.

[mzmolly]

15. Purchased my first Dixie Chicks CD for that song.

Love it! :toast:

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. I love that song. I hope they win BIG tonight!

I'd love to send a message to the psycho's supporters who trashed them.

[Cha]

18. Oh man, that was so Grand!

They all sound and look so good and that's the first time I've heard that song all the way..it's so beautiful.

I was thinking about all we've come through backing up The Dixie Chicks since all hell first broke out! A Long Way Baby!

[Bluzmann57]

19. You mean the Grammy's may amount to something after all?

Personally, I think they are something of a joke. How many Fathers of Rock and Roll have ever won Grammys? Very few. Tab Benoit should have one or more just for his efforts to raise money for Katrina victims. He won't win one. Tinsley Ellis should win one because he's just damn good. He won't. Muddy Waters should have won several because he was HUGELY influential in the world of Rock and Roll. He didn't. Robert Johnson should have some sort of award named after him because he basically invented Rock and Roll, albeit in a primitive way. Etc. etc.
When Jethro Tull won the award for "Best Heavy Metal Group", that soured it for me. I like JT, but they were never a Metal band.

[colbertforpresident]

24. Jethro Tull a metal band?

Tinsley Ellis is a fine blues guitarist. I've had the pleasure of seeing him live a couple of times. Another excellent little known guitar player that will never recieve a grammy is Jim Weider. If you ever get the chance go see Jim play live. he replaced Robbie Robertson in the BAND. He's a master of the telecaster. I'm happy for the Dixie Chicks even though I'm not a country music fan. I like their new song. I hope they win.

[senseandsensibility]

25. Does this mean that they didn't make any political statement?

x( Or is there still time for them to do so. Not watching, but I was hoping for a big moment when they criticized chimp and lots of fake outrage from the repugs.

[dancingme]

28. they won - no political statement

very gracious in acceptance for Song of the Year

[Cha]

27. Dixie Chicks Won The Album

Of The Year!

Nice Acceptance Speech..Natalie thanked them for sticking by her and said jokingly.."I told ya..stick with my and I'll take ya to the Grammys!" :D
