“It’s not discussed enough… someone should write a book on it – how we really lost how we make and listen to music with the onslaught of mass media.

If the honorees had performed together, it would have been a dream collaboration — but as is the 36-year custom, they sat, smiled and watched others pay tribute to lives lived on stages and screens.”
