Why are Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend getting Kennedy Center Honors?

I thought those honors were reserved solely for Americans.

I'm very confused.

3. I think it was for revitalizing interest in American blues

Or at least that was the official excuse

6. Elton John and Sean Connery got one

and Sir Paul has tuned it dowm many times during the last 8 years because reportedly he did not want to receive it from Bush. I am hopeful that next year President Obama will put the award around Paul McCartney's neck.
