One of the weirder moments in the Inaugural concert was Garth Brooks singing “American Pie”. He chose to stick to the chorus and didn’t sing the verses. It’s an odd song, to say the least, to sing at a concert that is delivering a message of hope and optimism. The song does neither. It reminds me of Republicans using Springsteen’s Born in the USA as a patriotic anthem. Doesn’t anyone listen to lyrics? Anyway, Brooks’ performance at least gave me an idea for a Friday Night song. I suppose this song has become a bit of a cliche, but I like it.
