But Lady Gaga's rendition of our national anthem at Joe Biden's inauguration just blew me away. I first heard it at work, listening to it on headphones on National Public Radio. I watched it on Youtube when I got home.

Wow. Was that stirring or what? I had no idea she had such talent. Combined with Joe Biden's decency as a human being, that was enough to make a cynical old guy disillusioned with his own country shed tears of hope.
Love Lady Gaga. At first I thought she was just a pop singer who was trying to find her spot with quirky costumes and videos. Behind the glitz and glitter is a talented singer. She was a good choice.
Like Whitney Houston's amazing performance, I prefer the anthem to be sung pretty basically without a bunch of vocal gymnastics. A singer with a solid voice doesn't need all that anyway.
I'm your huckleberry.
