They will claim Hillary should have thrown on her cape and swooped to grab the bomb before it went off.

Just like they did with all the suicide bombings in Iraq and elsewhere when bush was in....oh wait....I think they blamed the perps back then...

Journalists are "miming" real journalism, once again.

(Durn. Beat me by a minute... }

No attempt to enlighten or educate the public. No correlation between the prominence of a story and its actual significance. Something becomes a story based only whether people are talking about it (or whether the news source wants us to believe people are talking about it).

Using recorded performances is completely unremarkable and was done at the last inauguration too:

She was so scared to fail, that she missed the opportunity to be remembered.

Being a pop star is more like being an actor today than it is a musician.

I admit as a musician and someone who performs, I am not a fan of the very recent penchant for 'pre-recordings' or lip syncing. Arguments can be made to me all day about how every body does it today, liability at an event, the money saved, 'perfectionism', etc. but then it just ain't about the music. It is about the performance; it is just an act.

Anyone can make a mistake playing live. Why should I as the performer or anyone as a listener care? For hundreds if not thousands of years, we have not cared as we seem to do so today. As some great jazz musicians who would have never been caught dead pre-recording a track for a live performance said:

Miles Davis - "If you don't make mistakes, you're not trying hard enough."

Art Tatum - "There is no such thing as a wrong note."

Thelonious Monk - "Wrong is right."
