(42,760 posts)The ceremony just ended with PBO's comments and the ringing of a bell by descendants of a slave. CSPAN says they will show it again in its entirety at 8PM tonight.

(18,402 posts)She sang the most luscious, soulful, serious rendition ... and then at the uplifting, melodious last line, "a change is gonna come," she raises her arms in the air, blurts out "Hillary Clinton!" and walks of the stage. It was a mic-drop moment, for sure. It was especially funny because of the uber-bipartisan, apolitical, fake respectful tone of the whole event to that point. It almost felt like sacrilege. So brave!

Patti LaBelle is WUNNNNNNNNNNNNderful. And has been so for a long time!
