WASHINGTON (AP) - Paul McCartney says he's "highly honored" to receive a music award from the Library of Congress. McCartney will be given the library's Gershwin Award, named in honor of composers George and Ira Gershwin. The prize is given to a pop musician who the library feels exemplifies the excellence of the Gershwins. McCartney will receive his prize during an all-star tribute in the spring. Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder are past recipients of the prize.
