Kennedy Center: The Highlights
Did you watch the telecast of the Kennedy Center highlights last night? I taped and watched it into the wee hours. Highlights: Angela Gheorghiu singing “Vissi d’Arte” in the Grace Bumbry segment; Dave Brubeck’s four sons jamming in his tribute; Gary Beach doing his Judy Garland pose in the “Springtime for Hitler” number directed at Mel Brooks; and the entire Bruce Springsteen segment, with an especial shout-out to Melissa Etheridge for smokin’ “Born to Run” and making the lyric (and its love object, Wendy) a lesbian delight.
