It's nice to be inspired and the presidency of Barack Obama has inspired me to write this blog. My daughters, Jane and Julia, who have been hearing me go on about things for some time, suggested the same.
The "We Are One: the Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial" occurred on day minus two, that is, two days before the inauguaration. Can an event of the federal government be any better? The music was fun, the remarks appropriate, and the clothes were fun to watch. For a while I was wondering if everyone over 30 was color coordinated... blacks, browns, and earth tones. Then there was Renee Flemming in red with red on top of red... guess not.
Garth Brooks was the most suprising act for me, him being a country star and all. But Obama's got a big tent so there was plenty of room for the big hat. The act that hit home emotionally was James Taylor, performing with friends. And Stevie, of course.
