Yeah, but choosing not to attend is a little different from the Lord taking you home.


Didn't say it was...but whatever the case, they have never honored someone posthumously.

PRESUMING these artists have not received it and it CAN be awarded posthumously (even if it never has):

John Coltrane
Thelonious Monk
Miles Davis
Ella Fitzgerald

My candidates (whom I think have not received it but do not keep track):

Al Green
Bruce Springsteen
Wynton Marsalis (yeah, I know, but still.)
Prince (a long shot, but still)


Are there any hip-hop acts that you think COULD earn one? I say it will be at least another 20 years before anyone even THINKS about that. The hip-hop honoree would have to be an act that has had some commercial success and made some meaningful and positive work. Run-DMC and Common are the ones that comes to mind first.

lol Damn, you got no love for any of the "special" and "main" awards, huh? I don't blame you. biggrin

Have u seen the cheesing on these shows? Seems a waste of time.


I don't know whether any awards "mean" anything, the Kennedy Honor arguably outranks any of the other significant awards an artist could receive, because it isn't limited to one art form.
