Ornette Coleman received a Lifetime Achievement Award at a non-televised Grammy ceremony. No one deserved it more than this great artist & soul. Unfortunate that he didn't get to make these remarks primetime (the name of one of his bands, btw), because he's coming from somewhere far beyond the typical acceptance speech:

It is really very, very real to be here tonight, in relationship to life and death and I’m sure they both love each other.

The rest of it is over here.
