Inauguration Day Performance

After watching the actual event the morning of, I was so overwhelmed that I forgot there was an entire evening portion. As I was getting ready for bed, I caught up with a post that showed all the performances I had missed. To be honest, I didn’t care about everyone performing and this was the only one that I watched. But why did Katy Perry’s performance make me so emotional? There was something about the over extravagant fireworks and everyone watching them while listening to “Firework” that put me over the top.

It has only been a few days, but I feel incredibly relieved about everything. There has been a stiffness that I have felt for the last four years. And even just the last few weeks of silence paint a picture of what things could have been like all along.

Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister” is the worst song of 2010…

According to Maura Johnston, that catchy Train song “Hey, Soul Sister” is the number one worst song of 2010. In her post, she gave us 12 reasons why this song sucks so hard. Though they are believable reasons, I can’t fully agree with her that the song is the worst, but there are some parts of the song that have caused me to question its attractiveness.

My favorite reason of hers:

The ukulele. The fuck?

After reading her post, I was reminded of another song that left me feeling the same way. In a car ride with my best friend yesterday, we ended up dissecting Katy Perry’s “Firework.Lyrics in question?

“Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?”

“Boom boom boom, even brighter than the moon moon moon.”

Enough said.
