She wanted more established music. Have you read the column? She also described the Bush administration as having "mission inebriation", this when the President's hard drinking past is well known seems an unnecessary phrase to come up with.
I'll go find the link to her column.
I read the short or excerpted portion yesterday and wasn't interested enough at the time to track the whole thing down. I have more time now to read it so will if it shows up again. Thanks. I loved the music, a gift to the nation. It was so beautiful and meaningful, and I particularly appreciated the nontheatrical presentation by both ladies. Imagine, Newdow tried to prohibit Pres Bush from using GOD in the oath of office, and the whole thing starts off with this beautiful prayer sung to the whole world. George doesn't take to bullying thats for sure!!
