Is anyone else feeling a little disappointed at the “stars” that came out to honor JT at the Kennedy Center? No McCartney, Paul Simon, Raitt, Springsteen, Sting or Carole-Freakin’-King!!! But Darius Ruckus? I’m happy with Sheryl Crow and Garth is okay. But all those greats whom JT has honored in the past—-where were they? Last year, the big buzz was about the fact that Aretha had shown up for CK. Well, at least the Obamas were there.
Hi Ree, Yes, most of those would’ve been great performers to honor either JT or the Eagles. Bonnie Raitt was there and, although her tribute was for Mavis Staples she also said some great things about JT.
It should be a great broadcast. I like all of the honorees. Happy Holidays to you and everyone at JTO!
And don’t forget former president Bill Clinton, who spoke fondly of “my friend (James) of many years.” Clinton said that “in five decades, his melodies and lyrics have literally become seams in the fabric of my life.”
