What's On Tonight (Monday): And you can tell everybody, these are their songs

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is Elton John & Bernie Taupin: The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Boy, you'd think they would have already won that award by now, but it's forgivable since the prize is less than 20 years old. I'll bet that Springsteen gets it next year for the 50th anniversary of "Born to Run."


Now that I've finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick road, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, April 7. All times are EST.
