It goes without saying, but he certainly deserves the honor:

President Barack Obama will be on hand to celebrate the career of Bruce Springsteen at this year’s Kennedy Center Honors Gala on December 6th. Springsteen will be joined by fellow honorees actor Robert DeNiro, director Mel Brooks, jazz great Dave Brubeck and opera singer Grace Bumbry at the ceremony, which will air December 29th on CBS. “With his gritty and honest songs that speak to the everyman, Bruce Springsteen has always had his finger on the pulse of America,” the Kennedy Center wrote today in a statement.

Whoever wrote the aforementioned condescending statement about Springsteen's ability to relate to Hoi and Polloi despite being the toast of le elite will not be receiving any awards other than continuing to work for the Kennedy center, however.
