Immerse yourself in a powerful and emotional rendition of “Stairway to Heaven” by rock band Heart. While Led Zeppelin’s original version remains iconic, Heart brings a unique and heartfelt twist to this classic rock anthem.
In 2012, Led Zeppelin was honored with the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors, recognizing their monumental influence on rock music. Presented by then-President Barack Obama, this tribute recognizes those who have made outstanding contributions to American culture alongside legends such as Frank Sinatra, Joni Mitchell, Sammy Davis Jr. and Ella Fitzgerald.
Led Zeppelin’s influence extends across all genres and inspires a wide range of artists, from Def Leppard and Metallica to Alice Cooper, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Madonna, Beastie Boys and even Lady Gaga. Her enduring legacy makes Heart’s tribute to her all the more poignant.
Check out the video below to experience Heart’s moving rendition of “Stairway to Heaven”, a tribute that honors the enduring influence of Led Zeppelin.
Matthew McConaughey’s Classy Shutdown of Joy Behar
The well-known actor Matthew McConaughey recently demonstrated to us all how to manage a stressful situation with elegance. She chose to ask talk show presenter Joy Behar a contentious political issue during their interview. McConaughey opted for tact and respect rather biting the bait and getting into a furious argument.
With a deft refusal to respond, McConaughey reminded us all how important it is to have civil conversations and look for common ground. Although talking politics in public is difficult, McConaughey’s elegant diversion made an effect on the audience. It was a potent reminder of how important politeness is in all kinds of communication.
We can all take a cue from McConaughey’s strategy in a world full with contentious discussions and heated arguments. Let’s pause to admire his grace and composure in the face of a difficult circumstance. I look forward to having future talks that are more substantive and courteous.
