No, missed it - I was channel surfing last night. Lifetime Achievment Awards were given out on Saturday, so maybe there's no video? I did see these comments:
In keeping with her powerful legacy of political activism, she also delivered one of the most unusual thank you's of the night. "I'd like to thank President Bush for being the best publicity agent I've ever had," she said. "Wherever I go to perform these days, every progressive within 200 miles turns up."
Also:
Joan Baez, who gave a memorable performance last summer at Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay, seemed genuinely honored to receive her Lifetime Achievement Award. Before the ceremony began, she said she is looking forward to launching her 50th anniversary tour next year and expressed concern that young artists starting out now will have difficulty sustaining a career if the record industry continues to implode. As for her new surge in popularity, she credited President Bush, whom she called “the best publicity agent I ever had.”
Imagine - a 50th anniversary tour next year. Heck, I was 6 when she started???
