Obama’s speech, great. Gore, really impressive. Some other stuff was ok. But the music…sweet Jeebus, who had control of that iPod or those “live act” bookings? You’re the goddamned Democrats, you shouldn’t be getting smoked on the musical front by the Republicans. Where was Springsteen? Dylan? A million other self-proclaimed liberal musicians?
No, instead viewers are treated Sheryl Crow, Stevie Wonder, and Mike MacDonald, with the newest stuff being U2’s Beautiful Day and the finale of the night (during a climactic moment when Obama is being rained down upon with cheers) being Brooks and Dunn? Who was responsible for this sonic abortion?
Here’s a little help, a couple hours too late. Though I think the boldest move would have been to stick to straight jazz, maybe a little In a Silent Way or A Tribute to Jack Johnson fusion era Miles. Really class it up while maintaining an edgy cool.
