We have a little ditty about a rock legend getting honored right here in Tulsa.
The Woody Guthrie Center has announced John Mellencamp will be presented with the Woody Guthrie Prize during an Aug. 30 ceremony. The annual prize goes to an artist who best exemplifies the spirit and life work of Woody Guthrie by serving as a positive force for social change and by speaking for the less fortunate.
Mellencamp will be the fifth recipient of the award. He’s also a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
No word on if Jack and Diane will be in attendance.
Do you believe the rock star deserves the award? Let us know in the comments.
