Congrats to Mel Brooks, Dave Brubeck, Grace Bumbry, Robert De Niro and Bruce Springsteen were all recently lifetime achievement awards by President of the United States Barack Obama. The black-tie event took place Sunday at the Kennedy Center Honors. They three were honored for helping transform the arts in America.Or as Obama said they were simply "the best." He said: “These performers are indeed the best. They are also living reminders of a single truth — and I’m going to steal a line from my wife Michelle here — the arts are not somehow apart from our national life, the arts are the heart of our national life.”
