My favorite music at the Presidential Inauguration 2021

21 January 2021

Hollywood and Nashville came out big yesterday producing two wonderful TV specials in addition to the performance at the inauguration itself.

First the Parade Across America Watch on Youtube

and then at night the

Biden inauguration: “Celebrating America” event hosted by Tom Hanks Watch on Youtube.

There were many great performance by ordinary citizens and stars.

I am picking out three that you should see if you missed them.

This is cute. U2’s first TV appearance when they were young boys and did not sound professional yet.

The premature death of Chadwick Boseman due to colon cancer led to an international outpouring of grief. I had never seen a film with Boseman but I remembered how sad I was when Heath Ledger died much too young. People who knew Boseman gave eulogies that I would have given about Ledger, whose talent I admired deeply. So I wanted to see a film with Boseman. I chose the film about the musician James Brown.
