This just in – Zeppelin proves yet again How the West Was Won, as The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has announced the selection of the seven individuals who will receive the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors. Recipients to be honored at the 35th annual national celebration of the arts are: Buddy Guy, Dustin Hoffman, David Letterman, ballerina Natalia Makarova, and Led Zeppelin.
While Led Zeppelin is being honored as a band, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, and Robert Plant will each receive the Kennedy Center Honors.
“With their extraordinary talent, creativity and tenacity, the seven 2012 Kennedy Center Honorees have contributed significantly to the cultural life of our nation and the world,” said Kennedy Center Chairman David M. Rubenstein. “Buddy Guy is a titan of the blues and has been a tremendous influence on virtually everyone who has picked up an electric guitar in the last half century ….. and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant transformed the sound of rock and roll with their lyricism and innovative song structures, infusing blues into the sound of rock and roll and laying the foundation for countless rock bands.”
Seated with the President of the United States and Mrs. Obama, the Honorees will accept the thanks of their peers and fans through performances and heartfelt tributes.
The Honors Gala will be broadcast on CBS on December 26, 2012 at 9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT
