Wes Moore said while arriving on the red carpet. Moore pointed out iconic Apollo performances from Lauryn Hill and a young Michael Jackson as treasured memories of his youth. <\/p>\n<p>Music star Sheryl Crow paid tribute to Raitt\u2019s trailblazing career as not just a singer or songwriter but as a widely respected blues guitarist in a male-dominated field. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would not be doing what I\u2019m doing if I had not seen her perform as a 17-year old,\u201d said Crow, who bought her first guitar shortly after seeing Raitt in concert. <\/p>\n<p>Raitt herself predicted an emotional evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve brought a massive box of Kleenex and my waterproof eye liner,\u201d she laughed. <\/p>\n<p>The night kicked off with hostess and 2023 honoree Queen Latifah performing a musical medley that included hits from Raitt and the Grateful Dead. <\/p>\n<p>The gala at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts features personalized tributes with performances and testimonials from fellow artists. Medallions were presented during the traditional Saturday night ceremony at the State Department.<\/p>\n<p>In the first of the night\u2019s tributes, Emmylou Harris and Dave Matthews performed a cover of Raitt\u2019s duet with the late John Prine, \u201cAngel from Montgomery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tribute performances are often kept secret from the recipients themselves, most notably in 2018 when Cyndi Lauper <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/043c0ff9223448a1902ae29b6004702a\">flat out lied<\/a><\/span> to her longtime friend Cher about being unable to attend. Lauper appeared on stage to perform Cher\u2019s hit, \u201cIf I Could Turn Back Time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At a ceremony at the White House before attending the awards event itself, President Joe Biden praised each honoree. He also had an audience member, actor Robert De Niro, stand before declaring, \u201cIf I get in trouble, I\u2019m coming to you pal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De Niro grinned and nodded and others in attendance, including the honorees, laughed at what appeared to be a reference to De Niro sometimes playing hardnosed enforcers in movies like \u201cThe Godfather.\u201d But Biden actually meant he might seek the actor\u2019s help for post-presidency career advice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings are not looking good for February,\u201d Biden joked. Then he conceded that he couldn\u2019t sing or dance but suggested he might still find a way to help De Niro\u2019s production company.<\/p>\n<p>This could also be the last Kennedy Center Honors ceremony without political intrigue for a while. <\/p>\n<p>During Donald Trump\u2019s first four years in office, Kennedy Center officials were forced to walk a public tightrope between the tradition of the president attending the ceremony and the open antipathy toward Trump from multiple honorees. In 2017, recipient Norman Lear threatened to boycott his own ceremony if Trump attended. Trump, who takes office in January, skipped the ceremony for the entirety of his first term. <\/p>\n<p>On the red carpet Sunday night, multiple Democratic political figures seemed to offer an olive branch. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope he does come,\u201d Moore said. \u201cThis is a wonderful celebration of genius in all its forms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi added, \u201cI think he would really enjoy it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The awards show will air on CBS on Dec. 22.<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Will Weissert contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/kennedy-center-coppola-grateful-dead-raitt-sandoval-ddfda67f219774afc2cf43b574856a81\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Celebrities, cultural icons and a few surprise guests have gathered for the annual Kennedy Center Honors celebration in Washington on Sunday night.
