Inauguration Day
Jan. 20th, 2009 11:51 amAretha Franklin just sang the most touching rendition of My Country Tis of Thee ever
(can I get a WITNESS??!) :-)
(they should have put YoYoMa on first - and then Aretha could wake everyone up)
I was able to watch a half hour of pre-inauguration coverage as well as the swearing in of Biden and Obama - then I had to race to get to work on time.
I smiled when (eta: the Chief Justice made) Obama mess up the wording - - poor guy, he had to be a complete nervous wreck.
I'm taping the rest at home while I'm working.
