how awesome was that inauguration? SO AWESOME. Aretha Franklin! Itzhak Perlman! YO-YO MA! *ded of joy* um, i may have cracked up kind of a lot at the end of Lowry's speech though. "brown can stick around?" "red man can get ahead man?" i get the civil rights thing, but... man. *g*

also, i think they could have chosen a better poet, but maybe that's just me. *shrugs*

&hearts &hearts &hearts!

ETA for the inauguration speech!

Heh. I loved it. Yellow will be mellow, white will do what's right... forget the fancy abstractions about democracy, this was funny. M.

SO AWESOME. *happy sigh*

I think the poet suffered from having to go right after Obama's amazing speech. I cringed on her behalf. It wasn't a bad poem, but her delivery was a little stiff...
