Pre-Inauguration Concert

I did not. I saw five minutes of CNN watching an empty trains station yesterday and decided I was burned out on inauguration activities. The next time I want to see Obama will be when he is apologizing for having disappointed me after I put on a display of manufactured outrage over something or other.

Yes, I watched it and enjoyed it. Does anyone know which Gay Men's Chorus performed, I wish they'd been singing the main and not merely the backup to Josh Groban.

Bon Jovi was terrific, I thought. I think I even saw some faces I recognized in various crowd shots. That was cool.

I thought it was interesting to note that the second largest ovation from the crowd after Barack Obama was the roar that went up for Tiger Woods.

I loved Usher and Mary J. Blige and Herbie Hancock riffing Bob Marley

The Washington DC Gay Men's Chorus.
