    Well - I'm sitting here watching the Kennedy Center Honors and my bittersweet mood was just somewhat lightened. Stephen Colbert came out on stage and announced that the Eagles were supposed to be honored, but had to postpone because of Glenn's health. He said the guys decided to postpone it until next year so they could be honored the way they made their music - together. Then Miranda Lambert performed a lovely version of Desperado.

    "Together and shirtless"! That was funny. He's familiar with the infamous boat pictures, no doubt.

    My uncle called me when he heard the beginning of Desperado. He'd been flipping through the channels and caught Miranda just as she started singing. (I myself had decided not to watch it and was watching youtube videos instead). Nice that Stephen did mention them. I'd love to see them shirtless!

    I'm watching too. I'm glad they brought up why the guys weren't there. I didn't know if they were going to say anything.

    I'm watching Carole King's tribute. I like how they are doing Carole's tribute: storytelling and singing. I saw the Troudabor in the background in one of the performer's tribute.

    You gotta love Aretha Franklin stealing the show.

    Its the 2nd anniversary of Don paying tribute to Billy Joel. I almost forgot if it wasn't for notification of what happen on this day on Facebook.

    Yeah - The Troubadour backdrop was during Carole King's tribute. Maybe they can reuse that for a certain group of honorees next year.

    I watched it too and was happily surprised when Stephen mentioned them. Loved his shirtless comment! And Miranda did a nice job with Desperado.

    I'm really surprised they did that at all! I figured they wouldn't even be mentioned since they couldn't come.

    Sadly, I missed the segments about the band, because I didn't think anything would be said or sung due to their absence. Didn't turn it on until the tribute to Cicely Tyson which I enjoyed, because her film, "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman," is a longtime favorite.

    Anyway, James Taylor and Aretha Franklin were spot on with their performances and moved Carole King to tears. They all looked great! Also enjoyed watching both the President and First Lady grooving along to the music.

    Actually, NOLA. You were just a few minutes late of seeing the segments on the guys. They were right before Cicely's tribute.

    I don't usually watch this, but I did this time and really enjoyed the whole show. I love Carole King too.
