Not in Hall of Fame







Bruce Springsteen was awarded the prestigious National Medals of Arts medal by President Biden. It is the highest Presidential honour given to artists. He can add that to his 20 Grammys, an Oscar, a Tony and a Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama. Does this mean we need to start calling him 'Sir Bruce'? Oh, no, I guess not....it's only the Brit's that do that!
