Respect

It's great and all that Aretha Franklin is performing at Obama's inauguration. I sort of wish that someone other than John Williams was being commissioned to write the piece that is going to be played, evidently, right before Obama is sworn in. But my big question is: where's Stevie? I trust that he's being saved for the 3-hour long concert and dance party that's happening immediately after the ceremony, right? I've heard people say that they expect Inauguration Day to be a cross between the 1963 march on Washington and Woodstock. I wonder if anyone who played at the original Woodstock is going to play during Inauguration Day? I'd vote for Richie Havens.
