It’s also hard to accept because when I start doing this I did it for the inherent joy of making music … So I’m a little bit uncomfortable up here, but with that discomfort I do have a sense of gratitude. I want to say thank you to all the nominees and all the non-nominees who aren’t here and will never be here … I also want to say thanks to all the voters, sweet hookup.Bon Iver wins for Best New Artist at the Grammys, and Justin Vernon thanks all the folks who will never get the opportunity he got tonight. Love it.
