Legendary rock and roll icon Sir Paul McCartney, himself a Kennedy Center Honoree, congratulates his friend Lorne Michaels on being given the Kennedy Center Honor.

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced the selection of five Honorees who will receive the 44th Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievements. Recipients to be honored at the annual national celebration of the arts in Washington, D.C. are: operatic bass-baritone Justino Díaz, Motown founder, songwriter, producer, and director Berry Gordy, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, legendary stage and screen icon Bette Midler, and singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell.
The Kennedy Center Honors celebrates luminaries whose art and creativity have enriched us beyond measure,” stated Kennedy Center Chairman David M. Rubenstein. “Lorne Michaels created the most enduring ‘must-see television’ with Saturday Night Live, a show that is both mirror and muse for life in America.”
“This year’s Honorees represent the unifying power of the Arts and surely remind us of that which binds us together as human beings. These artists are equal parts genius, inspiration, and entertainment,” said Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter. “After the challenges and heartbreak of the last many months, and as we celebrate 50 years of the Kennedy Center, I dare add that we are prepared to throw ‘the party to end all parties’ in D.C. on December 5th, feting these extraordinary people and welcoming audiences back to our campus. We look forward to shaping an even more exciting Honors program and broadcast with CBS and the producers based on the success and newfound innovations of our 43rd Honors earlier this year

I was just thinking about what had happened to Paul. Congratulations to Lorne!

[@lilysnape3617]

Nothing had. Thanks God, he's well and active, having released his new books, The Lyrics and Grandude's Green Submarine, and Peter Jackson's The Beatles: Get Back. If someone doesn't know anything about Paul's life, it doesn't mean Paul's retired and doing nothing ; )

When did paul McCartney become
Homeless? If paul was a big fan of Loren he would have come in person

Maybe he had other obligations. Stop being so judgemental without knowing all of the facts.
