(2,195 posts)In rewatching previous Kennedy Center with Obama I couldn't help but think what a bummer if you were honored this year and had to sit through this with Dump in attendance. Take a look at Led Zeppelin and the tribute to Stairway by Heart, Jason Bonham and a choir. A remarkable moment plus the shots of Barack and Michelle jamming and Robert Plant near tears. Now imagine if Two Scoops was there with stiff Melania - what a buzz kill. Also check out the photo of Obama hanging out with Led Zeppelin at the reception. Truly a sight of mutual admiration.
