It's a real f***ed up testament to what Trump and the right has turned our country into that such an inoffensive, conventional President-elect like Joe Biden needs to be protected by 20,000 National Guard troops at his inauguration.
What am I looking forward to? Trump no longer being President, of course, and instead having a competent, qualified, sane, adult President who actually takes his Oath of Office seriously and cares about people other than himself.
Still though, I was eagerly looking forward to inauguration day but am now a bit uneasy about it after the Capitol riots. I really hope nothing goes wrong and that preparations are in better shape. I don't want it to get ugly and overshadow what a hopeful moment this should be.
Also Fall Out Boy sucks. I'm a little disappointed. That doesn't mean that the acts Joy Gray brought up are much better. I mean, Emily Ratajkowski and Cornel West? Though I do have a guilty pleasure soft spot for Ariana Grande, and find Dua Lipa quite enjoyable to look at.
Side note: I always hate to admit when I enjoy a pop song, but I heard "Don't Start Now" for the first time a few days ago and I think I have to include her on my guilty pleasure musician list now for reasons beyond the superficial.
Also the musician lineup has improved since I've discovered more acts that are going to perform. Bruce Springsteen? I mean come on! I'm less of a fan of his compared to the average New Jersey resident but still, he's our guy and I'm always happy to see him perform.
