Hope everyone had a happy merry everything.
One of my favorite year end events is the Kennedy Center Honors
This year the honorees are ...
Dustin Hoffman
Led Zeppelin
Buddy Guy
Natalia Makarova
and last but not least, a man I adore ...
Dave
Sexy and Sarcastic and Smart
Self-deprecating in a boyish way
A kind man who took care of a musician who was broke and needed cancer treatments
A businessman who paid his writers during the strike
He likes to play the fool but has a keen mind for social and political issues
I'm betting that it was excruciating for him to handle being honored. He has always battled with depression and feelings of not being good enough. He told his studio audience that he was waiting for the re-count.
He's more than good enough to me.
CBS will air the Kennedy Center Honors celebration tonight at 9 PM eastern time.
Bravo to all

Ohhh, thanks for the reminder! I would have missed it otherwise, Dianne. And he is a very sweet and humble person, isn't he? :-)
When he came out after the September 11 attacks and sat sown and just talked he calmed the nation. He is truly a great men. Funny and yet compassionate, and caring. I think becoming a father was the greatest thing that could ever have happened to him. Thaks for the post. I have had it on my calendar for ages. I will be watching with you.
Letterman rocks!
And you described him to a tee!
"He likes to play the fool but has a keen mind for social and political issues."
Love the photo of he and Obama!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, dear lady!
X and hugs to you and Hope!
Such a mix of people being honored. They all deserve it!
Dave is also one of the great all time cranks. Not the a-hole crank that Any Rooney was though. He's a charming crank. haha

Since this happened on Dec 2nd and there has no uproar from the press I assume everything went OK.
A Great assessment of the WONDERFUL Letterman..! Like you, I adore him and I so look forward to tonights Kennedy Center Honors. It is one of the Highlights of the year, for me...!
And it was great that he had ALL the Honorees on his program after the Honors Ceremony...!
I think he is such a smart guy...Really Really Smart! And yes, he has had his share of lifes-troubles....He is a lovely flawed brilliant human being...I look forward to watching him Every Night, and I actually Laugh Out Loud, every night!
Well Deserved, Dave.....!!!! And BEAUTIFULLY Expressed my dear Diane....
(I watched a re-run of Craig last night---It's like he is STILL on drugs!!! He cannot seem to get his mind off of Genetalia.....! LOL)
Wonderful!

Frank has always watched him but it took me a while to warm to Dave. I've been watching alongside him for a couple of years now and I have to admit I'm getting to know more about him and enjoy the show. Thanks for letting us know the Kennedy Center Honors will be aired, tonight.
I would reiterate all that you said.
Hope you had a good holiday!
thanks for the reminder
Thanks for the heads up, Dianne!
I couldn't agree with you more, Dianne!! And, yes, thanks for the reminder, I just got back a couple of hours ago!! Enjoy! Hugs to you and Hope!!

I'm looking forward to the telecast too, especially because of Dave.
You can't see it, but I'm throwing out the "devil horns" in honor of Led Zeppelin's induction!
I am happy that you enjoyed this.
Love David and Dustin :) Love you, too!
Hugs from snowed in Ohio,
I.
We caught the last part of the program; if he was embarrassed (as he likely was), he did not show it. My fave comedian since Carson...tribute to Led Zeppelin was cool, too. Stairway to Heaven, ahh!
Thanks, ma'am. Hope your Christmas was marvelous and your New Year the best ever!
