Those who know me, know I am a life-long Beatles fan and after having seen this living legend in concert twice now, I feel like he has definitely earned this recognition, especially since the Kennedy Center had issued a statement back in 2003, stating "Paul McCartney will not be receiving a Kennedy Center Honor," after he had postponed his 2002 award after the ceremony conflicted with a personal obligation.
Take that! lol
