Scandal my ass

Apparently some people are making a big to do about the fact that the Classical piece performed at the Inauguration on Tuesday was pre-recorded.

No, seriously. There is a poll and everything on MSNBC with a whole bunch of people commenting that it is a bad way to start the presidency, etc.

People. This is bunk.

I swear, if they asked only musicians, they would most likely unanimously agree that it was a good decision. HAVE YOU HEARD AN OUT OF KEY PIANO PLAYING WITH AN OUT OF KEY VIOLIN? It ain't pretty. And if frickin Itzhak Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma say it won't be pretty, than let's all give them the benefit of the doubt and get over it.

In fact, can we all just take a moment to be incredibly impressed that they even were able to fake play as well as they did?

Ugh. People annoy the crap out of me.

  2. I agree and had similar thoughts. I mean, if we didn't KNOW them and their talent and they were trying to get away with that then it would be different.

    Weather messes up instruments.
