Dixie Chicks, Blige win big
musician and an artist and a writer, it also shows I am growing into a better human being."
"For so many years, I've been talked about negatively," said Blige, who during her 15-year career has often discussed her past substance and self-esteem problems. "But this time I've been talked about positively by so many people."
The Dixie Chicks know about negative talk: The country superstars turned into red-state pariads after lead singer Natalie Maines criticized President Bush during a 2003 concert, on the eve of the Iraq invasion.
"Not Ready to Make Nice," their defiant anthem about the backlash, won the trio song of the year honors. They also won, ironically, country album of the year, despite distancing themselves from the genre with their album "Taking the Long Way."
"That's interesting," Maines said at the podium. "Well, to quote the great 'Simpsons' — 'Heh-Heh.'"
The Chili Peppers' double album, "Stadium Arcadium," was a triple winner, including best rock song and rock performance by a duo or group for "Dani California." Like the Dixie Chicks and Blige, the Chili Peppers delivered a critically acclaimed, commercially successful album as their careers hit the veteran stage.
The Grammys embraced its baby boomer status as in its 49th year. Though the show featured a medley with some bright new stars, including John Mayer, John Legend and Corinne Bailey Rae, it relied heavily on the classics. Nominee Lionel Richie sang his '80s hit "Hello" and Smokey Robinson sang the Motown classic "The Tracks of My Tears" in a tribute to R&B The Police, Rock and Roll Hall of Farmers who split in 1984, reunited to kick off the show with "Roxanne" — even though they weren't nominated for anything.
