Reassurance from artists censored by previous fear-mongering Republicans:
Weavers among honorary Grammy winners: "The Weavers, represented by members Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman, struck a chord with the crowd as their struggles with political witch hunts during the 1950s were recounted.
'If you can exist, and stay the course -- not a course of blind obstinacy and faulty conception -- but one of decency and good sense, you can outlast your enemies with your honor and integrity intact,' said Hellerman.
Of the other Weavers, Lee Hays died in 1981, while 85-year-old Pete Seeger does not travel much these days."
