Quick post on the Olympic Opening Ceremony
Quick because there are still 132 items in my work in box.
Loved it. Got lump in throat from the start. Cameron must have been sucking sour lemons most of the evening.
However:
We watched without commentary and I have no idea what the Sun and all the people prancing in red costumes was about.
The next person to tell me it was multicultural gets bopped on the head. No, it was *multi-ethnic*. I counted at least five hymns, and not a single piece of music from any other cultural tradition until we got to Dizzy Rascal and as I regard Black British as, well, British, I am stretching a point there.
Abide with me: why is everyone in raptures? No breath control, probably the wrong pitch for her voice, and no power. V disappointing.
