- Hi all:
-
- Back on board after a brief hiatus -- and I'm sure that after reading this,
- many of you might feel that it wasn't brief *enough*. :-)
-
- Since I bypassed any inaugural-ball bashing, critiquing, celebrating, I don't
- know if this has already been touched on. But I'm touching now ... and you
- don't know where. ;-)
-
- Whilst cleaning my house on Saturday, I camest across a rebroadcast of MTV's
- Inaugural Ball. ("A rebroadcast on MTV?" you say. "How unnatural!" But yes, my
- friends, it happens sometimes.) ANYWAY: The *only* thing to catch my attention
- and make me turn off my Hoover was the impromptu Automatic Baby performance.
- Michael Stipe and Mike Mills of R.E.M. and Adam "My Hair Keeps Getting Worse"
- Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr., of U2 doing an acoustic version of "One."
-
- I liked it. *A lot.* And this is coming from someone who likes to bitch about
- both bands whenever the opportunity presents itself. ;-)
-
- Anybody else see it? Anybody else like it?
-
- Heather
- [who wanted *desperately* to catch Ruben Blades' performance on the HBO Ball.
- Did anybody see *that*?]
