Last night's Kennedy Center Honors show was a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll — and a little bit Oprah. Sir Paul McCartney and Merle Haggard were feted along with the daytime talk queen, dance impresario Bill T. Jones, and Broadway composer Jerry Herman. Willie Nelson, Dave Grohl, Sheryl Crow, Steven Tyler, Norah Jones, Kid Rock and No Doubt all performed at the Washington, D.C. gala. President Obama and the first lady sat next to the five honorees at the event, which celebrates individuals who have made significant contributions to American culture. After the night's first half — in which Julia Roberts, Sidney Poitier, John Travolta, and Barbara Walters payed earnest tribute to Oprah, and Bill T. Jones and Jerry Herman were honored — Vince Gill came out to briefly praise his "old friend and lifelong favorite" artist Merle Haggard. "Hag tells it like it is," Gill said. "He is the poet of the common man." Kris Kristofferson and Miranda Lambert performed Haggard's "Silver Wings," and Gill and Brad Paisley delivered a juiced-up version of "Workin' Man's Blues." Haggard — who was wedged between Jerry Herman and Oprah, and looked a little stiff in his tux — noticeably perked up at the performance. He was even more riveted by Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow performing "Today I Started Loving You Again." Nelson then called out "a couple buddies of mine" — Kid Rock and Jamey Johnson, whose slick baritone sounded eerily like Haggard's — to play "Ramblin' Fever."
