The crowd is insane.  Not feeling the music so much, though.

My wife's sister and her husband were at it yesterday, they had a good time, even if the majority of the acts weren't great.

I watched it last night. It was fun.

Never imagined I'd see George Lucas belting out very enthusiastically "this is your land" in the same place as the president of the united states before. Quite a weird image.

Oh and if you want to know a reason that makes Pete Seeger leading the tune of a American classic alongside the President at the lincoln memorial really awesome in the context of giving conservatives seizures here is one:
Quote
"In 1936, at the age of 17, Pete Seeger joined the Young Communist League (YCL), then at the height of its popularity and influence. In 1942 he became a member of the Communist Party itself."
