All I have to say is that last night's Kennedy Center Honors was memorable. The honorees included Oprah Winfrey, Bill T. Jones, country singer Merle Haggard, but the night belonged to ex-Beatle Paul McCartney. During a medley of songs, Mavis Staples in her deep alto voice came on stage and made his song, "Let It Be" her own. He approved with a huge smile and an astonished happy look on his face. The fans in the audience rocked out to a medley of songs including, "Hey Jude" flashing their lighted cell phones as they glowed in the audience.
If you don't normally watch these honors, you should. It was a magical night of TV. I should have taped this.
