    It must be so weird for Obama to go through a receiving line of people whom he actually recognizes, unlike meeting group upon group of people like us.


    Also Jack Black looks positively starry eyed. I love it.

    I love Obama doing the bro hug (clasp hands, touch shoulders, slap the back). It's so fratty. Still not as cool as the Terrorist Fist Bump.


    The concert was awesome :) I watched the whole thing. Renee Fleming made me choke up and I even liked Garth Brooks. He took off his hat like a gentleman.

    Looking at these I just imagine that the celebrities all lined up in a row to greet Obama, and he just made his way down... while regular people got to stand behind them. I know it's not true, but I can't help imagining it that way.

    Have I told you about how I MET BARACK OBAMA? He was in Des Moines during the caucuses. I went to see him with my mom. We wormed our way up to the stage after his speech... and just as I asked if I could get a picture, THE CAMERA DIED! WHAT THE FUCK!
    However, I have these things to console me...
    1) My mom got a nice picture of me fighting through the crowd with him like 10 feet away
    2) He put his hand on my shoulder and told me that I needed to volunteer for him and that if he came back he would make sure I got a picture. never happened, but hey, at least I've got the memories?

    I don't know why, but even a 'serious' Steve Carrell is funny. He's great.


    But yeah, I loved seeing celebs be beneath someone else. If only he had snubbed them..."Leave me alone! I'm just trying to enjoy a concert in peace. Ugh!"

    Also, Barry lip-syncing 'American Pie' had me in a fit of giggles during the concert. And then Bono made me cry a bit...

    @stacyinbean: Always loved that song (In The name Of Love), and now it had so much resonance... Bono was almost jumping out of his skin with enthusiasm. I've grown very weary with Bono and his saint act of the last years, this made me forget about all that.

    @BlondeGoddess: Pride is one of my favorites, but MLK, also on Unforgettable Fire, is also great. It is a beautiful different kind of lullaby:


    Sleep
    Sleep tonight
    And may your dreams
    Be realized
    If the thunder cloud
    Passes rain
    So let it rain
    Rain down on him
    So let it be
    So let it be


    Sleep
    Sleep tonight
    And may your dreams
    Be realized
    If the thundercloud
    Passes rain
    So let it rain
    Let it rain
    Rain on him

    Of all the famous people I've met, the only ones who left me "starstruck" were Hillary and Bill. (And maybe JFK Jr., but I was only 12.) So I like to consider myself fairly impervious to meeting super-famous people, but I have a feeling that I would be just as agog as Denzel and company were I to meet Obama. And maybe Biden, too.
