I don't think I'm going to have dry eyes until Wednesday at the earliest. I'm a mess, a happy, blubbery mess!!!!

3. That was a great moment. Did you see George Lucas standing in the crowd?

[FrenchieCat]

4. Yes. I saw him. He was having a great time!

[hlthe2b]

7. I did... I recognized him from a YOUTUBE of the performance

as I didn't see him when I watched it earlier online. Initially, I couldn't place who it was, but later, I definitely realized it was George Lucas. I'm betting Spielberg must be there as well...

5. Pete Seeger's looking pretty dang good for a old timer!

You go Pete!!!!

9. I thought Beyonce was supposed to perform Etta James' "At Last"

Didn't I see that somewhere? Unless she performed twice and I missed it, she clearly did not...

11. Seeger was AWESOME!!!

He sure damn doesn't look 89. And they sang the socialistic verses of the song involving private property and welfare offices as well!

13. These?

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

Chorus

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

by Woody Guthrie

15. Yup!

I can already see Freeper heads exploding!

16. Seeger -- born in 1919 -- almost 90 years old and so youthful in his

demeanor.
