Much as I love Daltrey (on my list of Cool Old Guys), isn't he still a citizen of the UK? I thought such honors were only bestowed on Americans.

Nevertheless, here's hoping Daltrey does some mic turning and knocks out Babs while doing so.

They don’t make US citizenship a requirement - I think they look for impact in the USA but not citizenship. The award has been given to Pavarotti, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and even Elton John:

Yes. He and Pete are both proud Brits.

Trivia: Daltrey once did a cameo in a Babs video about 25 years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-slIu4pqQ8
