"...Then it's time for the moment we've all been waiting for: Irish (but honorary American) combo U2. While most performers managed to contain themselves, despite the emotion of the moment, apparently Bono was a bit confused, deciding that he was being inaugurated. He-of-the-elaborate-shades spent half his time onstage speechifying embarrassingly, flubbing the year of MLK's speech, and waiting just a smidge too long between offering a tribute to "an Israeli dream… (dramatic pause)... and also… a Palestinian dream!" His gloating thank-you to the President-elect for using "City of Blinding Lights" during his campaign was also cringe-worthy—didn't anybody tell Bono they used a lot of different songs?"
