No offense to them, but Gloria Estefan, LL Cool J and Lionel Ritchie but no Linda... really!!  |

Yes, this one's a little bit depressing to know. One wonders if Linda would have gotten the honor last year had things worked out differently....

Looks like a TV show line up from 1985 not the prestigious arts award it was. Lionel Richie, Gloria Estefan before Linda, Bette,etc. Weird actually.

Do Trump people have any say in who is chosen?

I daresay they don't, just those on the Kennedy Center board. I would point out that Charlton Heston, whose politics went Right in the early 1970s, got his Kennedy Center honor during Clinton's tenure in the White House.
And as much as we might be disheartened by Linda not being honored this year, how easy do we think she would feel sitting in the honorees' box knowing that Trump is just a few feet away?

That might be a good thing actually considering the way this is going. |

I really hope they don't cancel it, because it is one of the few good things (in my opinion) to watch on TV in that weird twilight zone between Christmas and New Year's Eve.
But like I said, just get the Obamas back (if nothing else so that he can infuriate Trump) so that the honorees will feel like they have a friend.

I don't see how they couldn't evoke politics. But it's better this way so that no one takes a shot at Trump in the balcony.
