"I'm the president...but he's the Boss."

Springsteen received the Kennedy Award this last weekend. The Kennedy Center gives the award to artists each year, and is one of the rarest and most significant honors bestowed on artists by the national government.

President Obama noted of Springsteen, "I'm the president, but he's the Boss."

Bruce has been mighty busy lately. He wrapped up his two-year tour for the Working on a Dream album, finishing off a series of concerts in which he played entire albums from his career. He played, on separate nights, in their entirety Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, Born in the USA, Greetings from Asbury Park, The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle and The River.

The final show consisted of a gargantuan set list:

Bruce and the band also made a stop off for the historic two-night extravaganza for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary. Bruce closed out the first night with a rocking show, playing with guests Billy Joel, Tom Morello, Sam Moore and others.

And the guy's up for four Grammy awards.

Not bad for a guy that just turned 60.

Rock on.
