Obama Inauguration concert
Emotional highlight- Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen singing "This Land is Your Land"- with all the radical verses included.
(Bonus irony- you can't watch this public event on YouTube because it's the private property of HBO) 2nd place- The D.C Gay Men's Chorus reprising Marian Anderson's 1939 performance of "My Country 'Tis of Thee". Anderson had been banned from performing in the Daughters of the American Revolution's Concert Hall because of the color of her skin; Eleanor Roosevelt then invited her to sing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, watched by an integrated crowd of 75,000. Bigotry dies slow and hard- but it does die. Musical highlight: Garth Brooks kicking out the jams on the Isley Brothers' "Shout" - what can I say, the man's got soul ![]()
