Obama Selects Evangelist for Invocation
Barack Obama has selected the Rev. Rick Warren, the evangelical pastor and author of “The Purpose Driven Life,” to deliver the invocation at his inauguration, a role that positions Mr. Warren to succeed Billy Graham as the nation’s pre-eminent minister and reflects the generational changes in the evangelical Christian movement.And instead of some opera diva they got Aretha to sing. A diva in a different realm.
And Yo Yo Ma in a quartet. By John fucking Williams?
Well, he had a leg up with his Patriot, which even I think is very nice, at the Grant Park victory speech.
