President Biden awarded Bruce Springsteen the National Medal Of Arts today at the White House East Room in a ceremony that also presented the National Humanities Medal. Technically, as the Hill reports, today’s event was for the medal’s 2021 recipients, as that year’s ceremony was canceled due to COVID-19. “Bruce, some people are just born to run, man,” Biden said upon awarding Springsteen the Arts medal, which is the US government’s highest arts award.
