This Inauguration Needs Something

Today was a historic day for this great country of ours, as Barack Obama brought his ivy-league basketball playin' skillset to the White House, replacing that other dude, who coincidentally was seen stealing a dictionary on his way out.

And what better way to celebrate such a historic event than through song? Answer: there is no better way. The freakin' Boss was there. Aretha freakin' Franklin was there. Also Garth Brooks, but I have a feeling Mr. Obama will soon make country music illegal. We can only hope. Get it? HOPE.

Anyhoo, it seems the people behind the event forgot some key musicians and songs that could have better expressed what just happened. Namely, CHAD KROEGER. Because Barack Obama is without a doubt, a "Hero."



OR, how about that all-time classic by Staind? Because "It's Been Awhile" since we had a good president.



But let us not forget perhaps the greatest tune missing from this all. Because what does President Obama evoke if not "Faith"?



But seriously, it was a great day, and music can bring people together, white black man woman gay straight, you name it. One of my favorite songs from the past couple of years has been "If A Song Could Be President" by Over the Rhine. Check it.
