"For there is always light
If only we're brave enough to see it
If only we're brave enough to be it."

— Amanda Gorman, 20 Jan 2021, inauguration of President Joe R Biden

@ZZTopGuitarSolo

It's not even 9pm here and I'm in bed.

What an amazing day. I've spent the whole thing smiling.

Same but it's now nearly 2am and I want to see the concert but the rational part of me says go the fk to bed lol
Furries · 21/01/2021 01:46

@Quaagars - it’s on now on CNN.

@minou123 - yes, that was The Boss.

I’m determined to stay up!

ZZTopGuitarSolo · 21/01/2021 01:50

Oh Foo Fighters coming up. Maybe I'll stay awake.

Didn't the Foo Fighters play in the West Wing episode when Santos won the presidency and Leo died?

ZZTopGuitarSolo · 21/01/2021 01:51

Ahhh Yo-Yo Ma.

minou123 · 21/01/2021 01:54

I'm also determined to stay up Smile
But then, I did warn my boss I may be late tomorrow.

Thank you Furries. Believe it or not, I've never paid any attention to The Boss. I genuinely couldn't pick him out in a line up.

I'm aware this makes me a let down to all Americans. (Even though I'm British)

OHolyTights · 21/01/2021 02:02

I'm watching so far but Joe looks fresher than I feel and he's many years my senior!

There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
Better days are coming

AcrossthePond55 · 21/01/2021 02:03

Watching the Celebration of America.

One of the nice things about being on the West Coast. Still early evening here.

Also celebrating getting my hair done. Now allowed where I live.

AcrossthePond55 · 21/01/2021 02:04

@ZZTopGuitarSolo

Ahhh Yo-Yo Ma.
He makes that cello sound like an orchestra
Furries · 21/01/2021 02:07

@AcrossthePond55 - enjoy! And great you got your hair done. I made the decision, after years of being natural, to get highlights 2nd week of March last year, needless to say I definitely have roots showing now 😂

Furries · 21/01/2021 02:08

@minou123 - don’t worry, I’m useless too. I only know one song, but do remember what he looks like (he was HOT back in the day).

Furries · 21/01/2021 02:09

Yay - FF 💕💕💕

minou123 · 21/01/2021 02:10

Here come the Foo Fighters for you ZZTopGuitarSolo

minou123 · 21/01/2021 02:12

The Foo Fighters are just too good.
I have no words of how brilliant they are

CustardySergeant · 21/01/2021 02:13

Have you seen this MAGA idiot in tears and pleading with Trump "Please save us from the devil"?

TibetanTerrier · 21/01/2021 02:47

He’s made some very strange comments about ivanka like ‘she’s a nice piece of ass’ and how he’d do her if she wasn’t his daughter.

@dongdingdong
He didn’t actually say either of these comments.

No, what he actually said was:
“Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife?”

"Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father….”

"You know who’s one of the great beauties of the world, according to everybody? And I helped create her. Ivanka. My daughter, Ivanka. She’s 6 feet tall, she’s got the best body.”

When asked what he and his daughter both consider their favorite things, Ivanka said "real estate and golf". Trump answered, “I was going to say sex, but I can relate to real estate and golf.”

Loving them watching the fireworks!

minou123 · 21/01/2021 02:58

I normally hate this Katy Perry Firework sing. But today I forgive anything

Furries · 21/01/2021 02:59

Aww, was Dr Jill wearing a corsage on her wrist? That’s blooming lovely.

minou123 · 21/01/2021 03:01

I missed that. That is lovely.

That was a really lovely, uplifting, fun inauguration celebration. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Bit im off to bed now. Its 3am!

Furries · 21/01/2021 03:02

@minou123 - me too ! Think we’ll all sleep a bit better tonight.

ZZTopGuitarSolo · 21/01/2021 03:02

The fireworks are fantastic. What a setting for them too.

From two weeks ago to this.

I also enjoyed seeing the three former presidents talking, and I loved the bit with Demi Lovato singing Lovely Day.

minou123 · 21/01/2021 03:05

I think we will all sleep a little bit better tonight. Sleep well all.

Endoftether20 · 21/01/2021 03:06

They are prob knackered. Its been a helluva day anyway, but then orders, etc.

A huge Adrenaline rush, prob some fear.

Truly a huge day.

Rainbowqueeen · 21/01/2021 03:34

I don’t think it’s been posted here but Nigella Lawsons recipe of the day is bitter orange tart.
