well...I lost it. I watched every bit of the two hours when it was rebroadcast...even strange artists whose names I didn't even recognize! I smiled all the way thru...then at the end, I lost it. I was even prepared, but when Pete started on 'those' verses, I cried....just thinking about all the years of Pete being marginalized and not being quite mainstream came flooding back, and I bawled for a bit. Then it was over & better and I just smiled again.
Wow... and you may quote me.

(and the beginning! What WAS the name of that Master Sargent who sang The Star Spangled Banner properly? It's been so long since I heard it sung well.)
