Inauguration Concert

Hi,

Today, I would like to talk about an event which took place on 18/01/2009 Sunday. The stars were in Washington DC to celebrate Barack Obama's coming inauguration. The Boss, Bono, Garth Brooks, Shakira, Beyonce, Sheryl Crow, Josh Groban, James Taylor and U2 were on the stage to perform. George Lucas, Tiger Woods, Tom Hanks, Samuel L. Jackson and Forrest Whittaker were among half a million people who went to the concert at the Lincoln Memorial. The atmosphere was truely impressive.

The Boss's "The Rising", Sheryl Crow & Herbie Hancock's "One Love" and especially U2's "Pride (In the Name of Love) -the band's dedication to Martin Luther King, were extraordinary. Bono's "This is not just an American dream also an Irish Dream, a European Dream, an African Dream, an Israeli Dream...and also a Palestinian dream..." quote was one of the best parts of the concert. Actually this was the only remarkable political comment of the concert besides the presence of some iconic figures from the world of politics and entertainment
